2.  66% check their phone at least 160 times a day, or roughly 10 times an hour.

3.  33% spend more time on their phone than with their significant other . . . and 17% spend more time on their phone than with their children.

4.  45% would rather give up sex for a year than their phone for a year.

5.  And finally, three-quarters of people admit they’re ADDICTED to their phone . . . including 19% of people who say they’re “very” addicted.
