Many of the respondents admitted that due to digital dependence they missed important moments in life and even got injured.

On average, adults through 16 hours felt miserable without their smartphones.

The study involved 1500 adults in the United States. More than a third of them (35%) stated that they spend too much time on gadgets (phone, laptop or tablet).

Almost half - 41% - said they visited special places for the sake of a better picture on social networks.

One interviewee said that his family vacation in the countryside had to be interrupted after he, looking at the smartphone, crashed into a cow and sprained his ankle.

Such a scenario is not at all uncommon.

Every fifth respondent says that he hit someone because he typed a text message at that time.
