How Adults Are Using Mobile Phones [INFOGRAPHIC]

Mobile phone with coins and dollar bank notesThese days, it is ubiquitous to notice people on public transport glued to their mobile phones, either tapping away playing their game, typing a text message or chatting away.

Earlier in May this year, Flowtown shared studies revealing what teens use their mobile phones for. This time round, they share how adults are utilizing their mobile phones so you no longer have to guess what their activities are.

Some takeaways include:

  • 51% of adults exchange a mere 1-10 text messages a day, whereas 29% teens send 101 and above!
  • Heavy callers tend to text-message heavily & light callers tend to text-message less
  • 65% of adults sleep with their mobile phones beside their bed, 90% of whom are below age 30.
    (No wonder ‘junk sleep’ is becoming a worrying trend!)
