A study found that the average person checks their cell phone 150 times a day!  They also receive, make or miss more than 20 calls and send or receive more than 20 text messages.  The multi-tasking nature of smartphones explains why we spend so much time fiddling with them- when we’re not using them to make calls or send texts, we’re checking emails, browsing the web,  playing games, snapping photos, listening to music, setting the alarm and other activities.
