10 Mar 10 Study at Stanford University shows students “addicted” to iPhones

A recent study from Stanford students that are iPhone users has stated that ten percent of them acknowledged full addiction to the Apple device. Only six percent said they are not addicted to it at all.

I have to admit that if you use as strong as word addiction in a survey, then you are probably going to get results like this. Perhaps we are addicted to our mobiles the way we are addicted to our computers. I know I couldn’t do my job without out them, but it’s not like it’s heroin to me.

See more about this survey (including a direct quote) after the jump.

Nearly 85 percent of the iPhone owners used the phone as their watch, and 89 percent used it as their alarm clock. In fact, 75 percent admitted to falling asleep with the iPhone in bed with them, and 69 percent said they were more likely to forget their wallet than their iPhone when leaving in the morning.
