Has the mobile gone too far?

A recent poll has shown that the British are very much addicted to their mobile phones. Research has actually shown that a large portion of the nation a huge 88% of us will not leave the house without thier mobile phone. This just proving that without things like mobile phones the country would come to a stand still. This goes on to say that an insanely high amount of 53,658,000 phones are carried around in bags and pockets in the streets of the UK every single day.  In truth Britain sends over 1 Billion texts a week putting us into the top 6 for texting in the world which is ridiculous considering Britain is such a small country.

The poll went on to say that over anything else a mobile is the one thing we will always take with us even over a wallet or purse which is most certainly a huge eye opener. Funnily enough the midlands saw the best/worst result depending on how you look at things with a massive 98% of people saying they had it on thier persons all the time.
The question to ask is why? Well it is simple really. The amount of things a mobile phone can now do is astronomical ranging from a simple text or call to checking the bank details online or even getting insurance quotes. As the years progress the mobile phone is becoming more and more advanced with some including MP3 within the phone itself as well as things like video calling and voice recognition! As well as this you can now watch television as well as your favourite film all from the touch of a button on the phone as well as look at quotes from different car insurance firms!

Of course it does mean that muggings have risen simply because there are simply more phones out there to take as well as the question are we becoming too dependent on technology? It wasn’t like this 30 years ago and it seems to be that younger generations are becoming increasingly lazier.

If technology is your thing then why not look for gadget insurance to make sure your favourite new gadget is protected against anything and everything!
