From the time we get out of bed, we check our phones 221 times a day – an average of every 4.3 minutes, according to The New York Times.
The stats are staggering, but not really surprising: three billion text messages are sent every day. Americans ages 18 to 29 send or receive an average of 88 texts per day. Ninety-one percent of mobile users look up information while in the middle of a task. Sixty-four percent of American adults owned a smartphone of some kind in 2015, up from 35 percent in 2011.
