It comes after a report by Ofcom found that 78% of Britons admitted they could not live without their smartphone, spending an average of two hours and 28 minutes online on it each day.
此前,英国通信管理局的一份报告发现,78%的英国人承认他们离开智能手机就没法活,他们平均每天用手机上网2小时28分钟。
Psychologist Dr Daria Kuss said some smartphone users 'may be aware that they're using it too much, however they can't stop themselves'.
心理学家达里亚·库斯博士称,一些智能手机用户“可能意识到了自己使用智能机过频,但是他们无法阻止自己。”
