Nomophobia — the fear of being left without a smartphone — is not only completely real, but can also pose a serious threat to our four-legged friends.
According to a survey of online SMS marketing platform SimpleTexting of 1,000 users, if owners had to choose between giving up their dog or smartphone for a month, 40% of Americans would prefer a mobile company.
In addition, 44% were ready to sacrifice their other half to society, and 72% would agree to give up alcohol.
However, 53% of respondents would still agree to a month without a phone, choosing between a smartphone and sex — with the exception of Gen Z (born after 1996), who would have chosen their phone even here.
The survey also showed that 35% of Americans are willing to spend between $ 500 and $ 2 thousand per month on smartphone care.
