People make, receive or avoid 22 phone calls every day and send or receive messages 23 times a day, says a new study.
The study further said that checking
their phones is the first thing many people do each day as they use
mobile phones' alarm function, and is also the last thing of the day. In
the meanwhile, people use the phone to access the Internet and check
e-mails, along with making calls and message.
According to the study, people check
their smartphones on an average 150 times during a working day of 16
hours. People even check their 'less-sophisticated phones' frequently,
the research found.
Ahonen on his blog said that people
make, receive or avoid 22 phone calls every day. They also send or
receive text messages 23 times a day and check the clock 18 times.
“The average phone user places three
calls per day and also receives three calls. Where are the other 16
times? Interruptions! We have a dropped call (one per day) or we make a
call attempt that won’t go through (one per day). We miss a call that
was coming, too slow to pull the phone out, or forgot we had changed our
ringing tone - yes, we all have done that too,” he wrote.
He added: ‘Avoid a call? Yes that we
also do, we see whose calling, and decide not to talk, send the b******
to voicemail jail. That’s once a day. We look at the phone when we start
the call - we ALSO have to look at the phone to end the call. So out of
the seven actual phone calls, we have to end seven calls, that gives us
seven more times to look at the phone.”
Do you also agree with the study that
people are spending too much time on their mobile phones? Let us know in
