It is, to tell the truth, rather annoying when someone cannot stop talking about their iPhones and always want to show off their new app. The iPhone users also tend to mock BlackBerry or flip phones as they search for a nearest ATM within a two-mile radius.
Well, according to a survey, they are actually not the worst from the lot, as a survey of 200 Stanford University students has revealed that there is a phenomenon such as iPhone addiction. The studies have further revealed that the iPhone addiction can even affect the way we multitask at times.
Though the whole concept of social media is to allow you that very opportunity of multitasking by being alert to the changes that are important to you and yet be present to other things around you. But the studies have revealed that those who multitask through social media have weaker memories than those who don’t and they tend to lack concentration at work. Their focus is easily distracted because they have to update on various media online and it is a hard act to follow.
Whereas those who prefer the traditional ways or are not so much addicted to things like iPhones can get their tasks done in real time and not just plan on things. So this whole phenomenon of iPhones addiction exists in real time and is a factor that is defining our mental capabilities.
