That we are now addicted to the smartphone is known, so much so that some OEMs have introduced some functions in their software that allow you to completely detach your mind from the device, inhibiting any form of use for a few minutes, such as the Zen mode of OnePlus, but this 2020 for a variety of reasons it has definitely contributed to increasing dependence on these technological tools. Someone wanted to see us clearly and specifically alive, a company that we are learning to appreciate even in Italy precisely for their smartphones that stand out for their high quality / price ratio. From this study, unfortunately, the data related to smartphone addiction are really worrying.
The analysis was conducted live and by Cyber Media Research, where the theme of the report is represented by the increase in smartphone use during 2020, certainly due to the global pandemic that has forced millions of users to remain closed in home, thus contributing in a highly impacting way on the physical and mental health of users.
The analysis on the use of smartphones by vivo reveals worrying data
The data collected is reported by the Brand Strategy Director of vivo India, this Nipun Marya, who declares that the excessive use of the smartphone is also damaging the relationships between people, increasingly pushed to have digital and virtual relationships. The range most dependent on the smartphone is that from 31 to 40 years of age, while the greatest use we make of the smartphone seems to be when we are in bed, thus also negatively affecting the quality of our sleep.
From 2019 to date, smartphone use has increased by an average of 39%, from 4,5 hours to 7 hours. The causes of use range from smart working, therefore partially justified, to the use of social media and games, considering that often our loved ones are also set aside for these activities. Objectively, I think that each of us reflects in at least one situation in which we have made and excessive use of the smartphone, so personally I will try to detach myself from this tool, which, however comfortable and fantastic in some respects is also changing negatively our lives.
