Study: Americans Use Phones to Avoid Boredom – and Bores

15.08.2011

A significant number of cell phone users, especially young ones, feel the need to just get away from the technology for awhile. 29 percent said they have in the past month to disconnect, with the highest percentage coming among those aged 18 to 29.

I’d venture to guess this occurred because younger phone users are the most likely to be more connected, and thus more likely to need to a break. In an ever more connected world, maybe it is good to disconnect once in awhile?
