Some take-away questions:

If my new smartphone is "smart," and my old feature phone is "dumb," is it silly the top two things I use it for are the same "dumb" things I did with my old phone?

If Facebook is used more than navigation, does that mean we care more about where our 'friends' are, than where we are?

Do more people take pictures with their phones because the built in camera is better than their old digital camera? Because it's easier to share on social media? Or is it something else?

Students Love Technology - (we knew it!)

Onlineeducation.net put together an infographic about college students and technology:

  • Some of it is obvious: "98% of college students own a digital device"
  • Some of it is perplexing (yet reassuring): College students spend "181.43 avg. minutes/per day on cell texting"
  • Some of it is alarming: "A University of Maryland study asked students not to use media for 24 hours. A large percentage of the students experienced symptoms similar to drug and alcohol withdrawal."

Check it out! (The notes in this graphic must have been written by one of the 30% of students who don't use a digital device for note taking ...)
