We check our phones 96 times a day; Prefer text over calling

A new study says we check our phones an average of 96 TIMES A DAY!! Which breaks down to ONCE EVERY 11 MINUTES! And that’s just on average.

Our dependency on smartphones has gone up over the years, 20% over the last 2 in fact.

Probably doesn’t help that texting is the preferred form of communication these days. You can’t blame the younger generations for these numbers either. Baby Boomers are 7 times more likely to text than talk to someone in person and twice as likely to text than call.
