What would people give up instead of their smartphones?

Mobile technologies have become a basic necessity for many consumers. This can be seen in trade-offs they would accept to keep their mobile phones. These are some of the examples surveyed by BCG in 2019.

• More than 3 in 10 would stop seeing their friends in person.
• 45% said they would put off going on vacation.
• 46% would be willing to give up a day off per week.
• More than 55% would rather forgo dinner out for 12 months.

There are several apps to monitor your phone usage and limiting notifications can help reduce addiction. At the end of the day phones should be compliments to one’s life not an anchor.
