Tablet/Smartphone Touch Screen Life Sucks Life out of Life Says Survey

Posted on 08/07/2012 by Glibert Shar

HarrisTouchscreenWhile much of Britain is watching the Olympic games, they are concerned about their touchy touchscreen habits. Britain’s smartphone and tablet owners are worried that they are over-reliant on their technological companions (46% and 55%, respectively). In fact, as many as three-quarters of male tablet owners aged 16-34 worry that they are excessively glued to their touchscreens.

According to Harris Interactive Touchscreen Life study Great Britain as a nation, is not only spending more and more time in front of a screen, but has become concerned about the addiction.

  • Parents are concerned about their children’s levels of screen life, with almost three in five (58%) saying they are concerned about the amount of time their kids spend in front of a screen – and, increasingly, this means mobiles and tablets as well as the traditional time-stealer, TV.
  • Almost three in five smartphone owners and two in five tablet owners find it difficult to switch off, admitting to "always checking” their devices (58% and 37%, respectively).
  • Smartphone and tablet owners often use their devices when relaxing at home (42% and 50%, respectively).
  • Almost a quarter of smartphone owners and over a third of tablet owners confess to using their devices at home during ‘time with family’ (23% and 35%, respectively).
  • Watching TV has become a multi-tasking activity, with almost half (48%) simultaneously using a tablet and over a third their smartphone (36%).
  • Even walking is not done offline; more than a quarter use a smartphone or tablet at the same time (28% and 32%, respectively)!
  • One in three  would be “very alarmed” if we lost our smartphone because our personal data is not secure.
