An article in The Telegraph reported on research about smartphone use that involved 221 UBC students and shed light on how much our phones invade our lives.
“Less than 10 years ago, Steve Jobs promised that smartphones ‘will change everything,” said study author Kostadin Kushlev, a psychology research scientist at the University of Virginia, who led the study with UBC colleagues.
“And with the internet in their pockets, people today are bombarded with notifications – whether from email, text messaging, social media or news apps – anywhere they go. We are seeking to better understand how this constant inflow of notifications influences our minds.”
