Next time you’re out having dinner with your friends or loved ones, keep track of how long you can go without checking Facebook, Twitter or your email. Can you go the entire dinner without sneaking in a peek at your mobile phone under the table?
If not, then you’re addicted to mobile technology … and you’re not alone (iPhone users are especially addicted):
One-third of all respondents would be more willing to give up sex for a week than their mobile phone.
Of the respondents who indicated they would be more willing to give up sex than their mobile phone for a week, 70% were women.
54% of all respondents would be more willing to give up exercise for a week than their mobile phone.
So what about our guilty pleasures? 55% of respondents would be more willing to give up caffeine for a week than their mobile phone, 63% would be more willing to give up chocolate, and 70% would be willing to forego alcohol.
One in five respondents are more willing to go shoeless than phoneless for a week.

That's assuming one is getting sex on at least a weekly basis. If not, giving it up would be pretty damn easy.
true……u cant be addicted to something u only get once a week……ur phone on the other hand, is always with you…….even when ur having sex lol
65% of iPhone users are lying about their phone reflecting their sense of style.
how addicted to my phone am I? So addicted that I don't even want to read the stats.
Only 5% of BlackBerry users check into their business using their phone? Given many companies hand out BlackBerries primarily for the purpose of checking their internal email when on the move…
It says "check into businesses", not "check into their business". I'm not entirely sure what the former means, but I don't believe it's what you are thinking.
I'm pretty sure it's like checking in with foursquare, facebook, or the like
I think "check into businesses" means like posting "I am HERE" on facebook or whatever…
28% of iPhone users would give up their significant others than their phone? Seriously, I absolutely love my smartphone but I love my gf way more. If you would be willing to go a week without seeing him/her you need to.. well you need to get a significant other.
You cant have sex with your phone……..yet.
From which we learn that Android owners are cads.
I mean, seriously, nearly a fifth have broken up with someone via text message or similar?
31% of smartphone users need to be banned from going to cinemas :-)
Well of course most people would rather give up alcohol than their phone for a week. If you can't go a week without alcohol, you're probably an alcoholic.
