Do You Use Your Mobile Phone In Bed?

Tell me, under what circumstances will you leave your mobile phone aside? Sleeping time, dining time, showering time? None, because mobile phone will be put beside you to ensure that you will get the latest updates or messages from your peers and etc. People tend to feel uncomfortable when mobile phones are left aside. So can you see how influential a mobile phone is to people nowadays?

Using a mobile phone in some places used to be considered inappropriate but this is no longer the case as the old rules of social etiquette are broken down.

Research from Lloyds TSB shows that some 35% of mobile owners admit to using their phone whilst in their own bathroom, and almost a quarter has used their phone in a public toilet.

Over 10% have used their phone in a meeting or during a presentation or at the theatre, cinema or at a concert. Many have also used their phone during a wedding, a christening, or other religious ceremony.

Only half of Brits now think it’s unacceptable to use a phone during dinner at a restaurant and only 21% don’t agree with using a phone in a public toilet. However, over two thirds still agree it is unacceptable to use a phone at the theatre, cinema or concert hall.

The mobile phone though is becoming such an integral part of our lives and used for far more than calling and texting. A smartphone is used a camera at least once a week by half of owners, around a third use if for social networking and emailing on a regular basis. Just over 10% use it for their banking.

Ashley Machin, director of digital banking at Lloyds TSB said: “This research shows how quickly mobile phones are becoming the most versatile and important gadget in peoples’ lives. They are clearly changing the way we live as evidenced by the speed with which mobile banking is growing.”
