Your life is fully mobile.

You know,It's hard to think any tool,any instrument,any object in history with which so many developed so close a relationship so quickly as we have with our phones.Even money,because most of us don't take a wallet to bed with us,don't reach for it and check it every few minutes. We can't do without it,not for a day--in most case not even for an hour.In Time's poll,1 in 4 people check it every 30 minutes,1 in 5 every 10 minutes.A third of respondents admitted that without their mobile for even short periods leaves them feeling anxiuos.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Yes u are absolutely right, our lives have been taken over by the cell phones and people are finding it tough to spend a single moment without cell phones as though it is their support system. It is quite miserable to know that many people these days are getting so much attached to the cell phones that they get hysteric if they do not find their cell phones near them. They get obsessed and sometimes even addicted to it which is really is a huge concern. What say?

Just like When people focus on one thing, they will ignore others.Mobile phone brings us convenient as well as pressure.Maybe we need slow down.

Hi friend, welcome to mylot. A lot of cell phone addicts are available in this modern world, it is really hard for them to live their life without their phone, as you mentioned majority of people looking at their cell phones frequently.

Yes, you are absolutely right. I think I am in the third category that you have mentioned. It's really impossible to be part with my mobile. I am damn sure that there is no one to call me and sent some very important messages, but still I keep on checking it. Sometimes I might having a feeling why I am wasting my time in this mobile, but still I could not get rid of it yet.

I now I can't go one day without my cell phone, as it has become a part of me, and since I don't have a land line, I have to have my cell phone to be able to communicate with my friends and family. Of course , there was a time that I didn't have a cell phone, and then, since I never had one, I never really missed it. Now, I need it for everything. Cell phones have become very technological lately, as they have all the features that a person could want. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3, and I am happy to have it, as I am enjoying it immensely. I can post in here as well, but most of the time I either use my laptop or my tablet. I think I would be lost wihout my cell phone, that is for sure. I take it with me wherever I go, unless I am charging it, then I leave it at home. Even then I feel naked without it. . Take care, and have a very good day.
