Women feel ‘lost’ and ‘naked’ without their cell phones, electronic devices

Most women feel ‘lost’ and ‘naked’ without their electronic ‘link to the world’, a new survey has found.

The new Kidspot.com.au research also found that 83 per cent of women prefer to keep in touch by text compared with 42 per cent who make a call.

The survey of 5435 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that smart phones are considered a ‘window to information and knowledge’, with recording, camera, mailing, GPS and video chat functions serving as a trustworthy personal assistant, reports News.com.au.

Nearly 30 per cent said they couldn't live without their phone, 24 per cent have an ‘emotional relationship’ with it and 22 per cent say it's purely practical.

look guys, don't take this seriously. But living with out phones?? how did people in ancient times live, or even say our parents. When they were little, they would only send letters when people were not healthy etc. And in this generation we are 24 hours on phone talking to people for no reason. So I think that who ever surveyed for that, I think they all are over reacting to much about their phones. I have one too but the last time I used my phone to message was 3 days ago. So I think this is just too much.

just because YOU have not used a phone does not mean the study is wrong. the world does not revolve around you. get over it.

I Think whatever the above said Information they have given is Null and Void as i think a Phone is for Communication rather than listening to Music, Chatting ,Mailing, GPS etc...For that you have you table PC`s and Laptop to do all those activities....For the Longitivity of the mobile we need to use it for only Communication purpose....
