There’s so much happening in the world around us nowadays. Because of the fast development of technology, things change in just a small span of time. Take communication for example; twenty years ago, you need to get to a nearby payphone booth, insert some coins, dial the number, and you can be able to talk to whoever you want to—of course, given that that person has a telephone, too. But now, all you have to do is take out your smartphone from your pocket, voice out the name of the person you want to contact, and you can be able to talk to him in a flash; plus, you may even get a chance to see the person you’re talking to via video call.
It’s just so convenient having technology by our side—anyway, that’s what it’s supposed to do, to make our life easy. With that, smartphones have invaded the tech market, and so as replacement parts that happen to upgrade or substitute whatever that needs changing within our handheld devices. As days pass by, more and more people are appreciating the perks of having a mobile phone handy. I know that’s no surprise. But if you want a surprise of some sort, then read the facts about mobile phones below.
1. Figures show that there are 3x more smartphones being activated every minute all over the world than babies being born. You may not even have kids now, but most certainly, you won’t let a single day pass without a smartphone.
2. There are currently more than 7 billion people in the world, and 4.8 out of the 7 billion actually have a mobile phone, while only 4.2 billion own their own toothbrush.
3. The total population of the USA won’t come close to the total number of mobile web users of China. At the end of the first three months of 2012, it was recorded that there were approximately 450 million web users in the country. It only shows that China have more mobile internet users than the population of the third largest country in the world.
4. Due to the trend, experts say that by 2015, mobile phones will match the same number of the total population on Earth. It doesn’t mean that everyone will own a mobile device—in fact, that’s still a remote dream, especially for the inhabitants of the world’s poorest countries. It just means that by that time, one might own more than one device. That also means more mobile accessory manufacturers will benefit from this massive growth like those making cell phone cases.
5. Back in 2009, American mobile phone users had sent an approximate of 4.1 billion text messages daily. That’s equivalent to 17 SMSs for every single person in the country per day.
6. A study from the University of Queensland shows that text messaging is highly addictive as smoking, though it’s not that bad for the health.
7. People using mobile phones check their phones about 150 times a day on average. Additionally, tracking figures show that women are more active when it comes to texting, sending 716 texts a month, while men send 555 texts a month.
8. Within the past two years, internet searches from mobile devices have grown by 500%, and this figure is predicted to continually grow at a rapid rate. If you haven’t yet considered marketing your business through the internet, then you should now.
Some facts above are just mind blowing. We can’t just deny the fact that mobile phones became a hit in this generation. With the fast pace of technology, changing the world in every way possible, who knows what’s in store for us in the near future? All I know is that whatever it is, it’s going to be amazing.
