ATLANTA, Ga. (PRWEB) September 09, 2012

Gadget insurance brand, Protect Your Bubble, recently conducted a study to find out how much time people spend per day on their gadgets. The results? On average, folks spend more than nine hours per day with gadgets. Protect your bubble studied 3,000 men and women and discovered that the public is so reliant on modern technology that they use it from the minute they wake up to the minute they go to bed. It doesn’t even stop there; 12 percent admit to even dream about their gadgets on occasion.

So what exactly are consumers doing in this time? According to the survey, in one day the average person spends:

•     4 hours solid on a computer
•     1 hour 34 minutes on a laptop
•     56 minutes on a smartphone(browsing, emailing, texting and social networking)
•     38 minutes on computer games
•     38 minutes on a normal mobile phone (not a smartphone)

•     5 minutes setting up the GPS navigation
•     16 minutes switching TV channels
•     10 minutes setting up DVR
•     8 minutes tinkering with the washing machine

"We all know that modern technology plays an important part in everyday life, but it is incredible to think that so many hours are spent using gadgets” said Stephen Ebbett, President of Protect Your Bubble. “The average person probably isn't even awake for much longer than 16 hours a day and more than half of that time is completely dominated by gadgets.”

Despite relying on gadgets to get them through the day, only a quarter of people that were surveyed admitted to being totally obsessed with them. Sixty-one percent were pretty surprised at how much they depend on modern technology.
