10.Cellphone feels like a part of your body?Calling mobile phones the"remote control"for life,market research firm Synovate's poll(民意調(diào)查) said cell phones are so ubiquitous that by last year more humans owned one than did not.Three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents(受訪者) polled online in 11 countries and regions said they take their phone(s) with them everywhere,with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached.More than a third also said they couldn't live without their phone(s),topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans,while one in four would find it harder to replace the mobile than their purse.Some two-thirds of respondents go to bed with their phones nearby and can't switch them off,even though they want to,because they're afraid they'll miss something.
"Mobiles give us safety,security and instant access to information.They are the number one tool of communication for us,"Jenny Chang,Synovate's managing director in Taiwan,said in a statement.
Mobiles have also changed the nature of relationships,with the survey finding nearly half of all respondents use text messages to communicate.Apart from the obvious calling and texting,the top three features people use regularly on their mobile phones globally are the alarm clock,the camera and the games.As for email and Internet access,17 percent of respondents said they checked their inboxes or surfed the Web off their phones,led by those in the United States and Britain.
"As the mobile becomes more and more an all-in-one(一體化) device,many other businesses are facing challenging times.The opportunities for mobile manufacturers and networks however are enormous,"said Synovate's global head of media,Steve Garton.
