Wallet? Check. Keys? Check. Phone? [Cue moment of panic as you rummage to find it]. Check. [Cue audible sigh of relief]. Our mobiles have become our trusty sidekicks, accompanying us anywhere and everywhere — they're almost like security blankets.
And the numbers surrounding mobile use are, unsurprisingly, daunting. As of January 2014, 90% of adults in the U.S. had cellphones, including a whopping 98% of 18-29-year-olds, the most robust contingent of smartphone users. These stats become even more significant when you consider just how we use our phones as a society, and the ways this has grown.
Check out the infographic below to get a better sense of our mobile usage — click the hotspot "apps" to see how our mobile addiction breaks down, from how much we use our phones, to what exactly we're using them for, to where we're using them (toilet tweeters, we're giving you side-eye).
