Are St Louisans Addicted to Their Mobile Phone?

Fellow St. Louisans: What Would You Be Willing to Give Up for Your Mobile Phone?

Here’s some interesting results from a recent survey about smartphones … and a challenge!  The next time you are out with your friends having dinner, try tracking how long you can go without checking your email, Facebook, or Twitter account.  Could you go the entire time without sneaking a peek at your mobile phone?  If not, then you could be addicted to mobile technology.  Don’t worry you are not alone. In fact, iPhone users are especially vulnerable.
