UK Hooked on Portable Gadgets

mobile gadget

One third of the United Kingdom believes that the purpose of the mobile phone is to enable them to have access 24/7, according to a study commissioned by Energizer battery farm.

Research seems to suggest that Britain is a society hooked on his portable electronic devices.

Nearly one in five respondents said they were not all day and need devices to keep in touch with friends and family and work, and 16 percent admitted they could not cut socially if they have no phone.

And it's not only the younger generation that is glued to their gadgets, one third of people over 55 have always adopted the mentality of living, the report said.

Thus making calls, sending text and listen to music, half of us snap photos while traveling, one in five emails and 15 percent surf the web as they travel .

Devices have become so much a part of everyday life that three-quarters of motorists not go anywhere without sat-nav equipment, and would not necessarily get to their destination without it.

More than half of respondents must have their MP3 player wherever they go, and 43 percent could not imagine going anywhere without his digital camera. Almost one in five would not leave the house without their PDA.

"Our research shows that Britain is" always on "," said a spokesman for Energizer.

"No matter where we are going, we can not leave the house without our mobile phones, cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and games. We are so used to having gadgets on our side that we accept that we are available 24/7. "

When it comes to the future, the technological leap that we want to see is a robot that can clean our house, followed by another that monitors our house to maintain security while informing us.
