Many Emotionally Attached to Their Smartphone

While research has found that we’re so obsessed with our phones, we emotionally connect to them, it makes sense that we like to have them close by at all times, reports Ladders.

New results from YouGov show that 31% of Americans say they think “the longest amount of time” that they could be without their smartphones “for personal use” is simply “a few hours.” Millennials were defined as people born anywhere between 1982 and 1999, Generation X-ers were people born between 1965 and 1981, and lastly, Baby Boomers were those born between 1946 and 1964.

Thirty-two percent of all surveyed said that they “never check their phone while on a date,” while 24% admitted to doing so once or twice.
