American student: “I was itching, like a crackhead, because I couldn't use my phone

The research shows that 10% of the young people surveyed would rather not have sex for 2 weeks on holiday than not have mobile internet for 2 weeks. 7% of the young people indicate that they cannot go a day without mobile internet (as a 23-year-old I am definitely one of them!). Young people are even willing to pay a lot of money for it. Some say they would pay as much as half a month's salary to be able to use the internet on their smartphone for 2 weeks.

Of course, this is a very small-scale study. However, similar results are confirmed in 'The World Unplugged', nepal phone number list a study in 10 countries, spread over 5 continents. Students had to disconnect from media for 24 hours for the study. Here are some reactions:


“I didn't use my cell phone all night. It was a difficult day… a horrible day,” said a student from Chile. “After this, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MEDIA! I need my social webs, my cell phone, my Mac, my mp3 always!”

Students in the study said that their mobile phones are an extension of themselves. They function as a Swiss army knife and a security blanket for young people. Read more about this interesting study here .
