Most of us married to our mobile

Flowtown has an infographic up about how adults use their mobiles (cell phones). Flowtown draws upon US Pew figures, though you’d imagine that UK, Australian and Canadian figures would be similar given comparable mobile and smartphone penetration rates.

Top stat? 90% of 18-29 year olds take their mobiles to bed, and 70% of 30-49 year olds do so. As that proportion of adults certainly isn’t married or even in a relationship, it shows how we’re essentially partnered up to our phones.

The second one that caught my eye was about teen texting. The fact that younger age groups text more is well known, but as the infographic shows, while most adults send under 10 texts a day, for teens, 29% send over 101!
