Technology is a part of our life. If we think a day without using any
electronic devices or any technology, how will it be? If we think a day of ours
from morning to evening, what all things we use? Among all those devices and
technologies, one device is always with us like our shadow. Yes, the mobile
phone is too attached to our life. Let us see some facts from surveys before
discussing further on this.
An Indian smart phone user spends around three hours a day on the
handset mostly in entertainments apps in mobile. According to a
Nielsen-Informate Mobile Intelligence survey, Indian smart phone user spends 72
per cent of the time on activities such as gaming, entertainment, applications
(apps) and internet related content.
The same survey states that the Indian young mobile users prefer texting
(sms) and chatting than the vice calls. From the survey, it is understood that
the young generation, age group 15 – 24, uses mobile phone more than three
hours a day compared to an average two hours a day of usage of the people in
the age group of over 31 years. The younger generation spends around 45 minutes
in chatting and SMS compared to around 15 minutes for the age group more than
31 years. It also found that 68 per cent of the 15-24 year olds used a chat app
last month as compared to 42 per cent for the 31 year old and above category.
So many other facts are also there in the survey results.
