Poll Finds People are "Addicted" to Their Smart Phones

Nearly 60 percent of surveyed smart phone owners report they don’t go an hour without checking their phone, but you probably already knew that. 


Younger folks were the most "addicted," as  63 percent of women and 73 percent of men ages 18 to 34 say they don’t go an hour without checking their phones, a survey conducted  by Harris Interactive, and commissioned by Lookiout, has found.


Some 54 percent said they check their phones while lying in bed: before they go to sleep, after they wake up, even in the middle of the night. 


Some 30 percent of respondents admitted that they check their phones during a meal with others. About 24 percent said they check their phones while driving.
