Austrians in smartphone fever: cell phone use overwhelms the mouths!

Österreich - An alarming trend takes its course in Austria: Smartphone use reaches frightening dimensions! According to a recent survey by Deloitte, Austrians use an average of an average of their cell phones 36 times a day - even though many of them are now critically dealing with their digital consumption. A third of the respondents state to spend at least four hours on the mobile phone every day, with young people between the ages of 14 and 29 - over a quarter of this group - spend more than five hours a day directly on the screen. This information makes it clear that the smartphone is indispensable, but is also perceived as a potential time trap, as meinbezirk.at

The results show growing skepticism compared to excessive use of digital devices. Almost 60 percent of those surveyed express the desire to reduce their consumption. Above all, the negative effects such as overstimulation, sleep disorders and the feeling of waste valuable time are pushing for self -reflection. Almost 33 percent report that you often lose yourself in smartphone use, while 21 percent feel forced to constantly look at your device, as in a further discussion of Futurezone.at is emphasized.

Digital detox in focus

Although the desire for a digital detox increases, the waiver of smartphones seems impossible for many. The daily communication needs as well as the dependence on apps for news, weather and navigation help to keep people sticking to their devices. Simple measures such as the mutting of push notifications or setting up screen time boundaries in the smartphone settings are still not widespread. Only seven percent of users have made use of these functions to inspect their frequency of use and to control their habits.
