I confess: if ever I leave the house without my phone, I feel naked and vulnerable. When was the last time someone walked into you because they were looking at their phone? For me, it happens multiple times a day, and I am equally guilty of being the person on the other side of this.
Sound familiar? Studies have found the average smartphone owner will click, tap or swipe a whopping 2,617 times a day. Shockingly, 87% of people check their devices within an hour of going to bed or within an hour of waking up. It’s having a huge impact on children – 97% of whom have a smartphone by the age of 12.
