Young people cannot live without their phone
Yet another survey by YouGov has concluded in the fact that we can’t live without our mobile phone. This survey focussed on 2,000 18-24 year olds who owned a mobile, and unsurprisingly the majority rely heavily on their mobile. The survey asked what the most needed possession of the target group was, cash came out on top taking 30% of the vote, with a mobile phone close second at 23%.
When asked what they would be willing to go 24 hours without, this group of 18-24 year olds decided that it would be better to go without alcohol, chocolate or sex than spend 24 hours without their beloved mobile phone. 39% would rather go without alcohol, 21% without chocolate, 12% without sex and just 7% were willing to leave behind their mobile for a whole day.
When asked what they would need in an overnight survival kit 25% of the group said a toothbrush would be the most essential item, mobile phones coming in second with 23% of the votes. Worryingly only 17% said they would need deodorant or clean underwear!
