A SURVEY by Samsung has found that people use smartphones in the toilet, while having sex, and in church, though thankfully not during a combination of all three.
Sensing that it is Friday, and a summer Friday at that, Samsung has taken the opportunity to point out that working Americans who own smartphones are happy to smash taboos and break boundaries while making phone calls.
Such bold activities include taking a business call while you are on the toilet, although to be fair the intent of the trip may have been to flush said smartphone. in church, which is an unavoidable situation if you are a switched on vicar, or while having sex, which is, er, madness.
Samsung found that 72 per cent of people that were happy to answer surveys about their private smartphone habits would take a call on the toilet. One in ten will make or take a call during a funeral or when having sex, and a third will do so in church. What a bunch of foul Gordon Gekkos US smartphone users must be.
Samsung, which if you haven't work it out already sells smartphones, said that almost 80 per cent of office workers considered handsets to be a part of everyday business, while 90 per cent were so full of their own self-importance that they said they should be "readily available to colleagues, supervisors and clients at all times, even after business hours".
Meanwhile, 80 per cent of workers were apparently so lacking in social interaction that they admitted they would respond to a work email on their phone regardless of what time of day it was.
So forget having a social life or any leisure, apparently those days are over. µ
I see churchs when I drive around, looks like a good place to meet women, but the food isn't so good I hear.
I thought us in the US were godless heathens? which I would concider better than getting killed with rocks for finding love in the middle east.
to be on topic, the only way I would have a smart phone is if my job made me, my free time is spent living, not streatching out my slavery to techno junk.
for a while we had 'game' with gf, giving oral sex if other was on phone, try to speak calmly....
In Church? Maby. During Sex?! How bad must sex be for you! Unless this is a Boss and Secretary scenario of course. :)
I should think if anyone is using a smartphone during sex, they're not using it to take a call or check their emails ;-)
do people still go to church?
i thought people were educated and sentient these days.
oops, my mistake - americans!
hahaha
