Proud to be one. Or maybe not?

There is this article in the Straits Times recently about Singaporeans getting too attached to their mobiles, and coming up with excuses through their mobiles.

Well just some extract from the article;

"Market research firm Synovate's survey said three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents polled online in 11 places said they take their cellphones with them everywhere. And leading the pack are Russians and Singaporeans.

More than a third of the respondents went as far as to say that they cannot live without their mobile phones, topped by Taiwanese followed by Singaporeans, while one in four finds it harder to replace cellphones than wallets or purses."

True to say, but I am not really dependent on my current NS phone other than calls and smses..

Then again;

"The survey also found that 31 per cent of respondents have lied about their whereabouts via text messaging.

Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile phones are the alarm clock, camera and games."

Very true and real to me, and I dare to say that I am one of the 31% of respondents. I know that I am exposing myself and that in future when I am meeting people who read this entry, they will interrogate me thoroughly and have a benefit of doubt when I am late.

But this article is interesting and very honest that technology is really integrating to be an indispensable part of our lives, like it or not. Now ask yourself, how truth does this article seems to you?
