Statement: “I’d rather give up on sex than my mobile phone”
It’s Sunday morning, and this should probably wake you up. Here are some statements taken from Reuters, on the importance of phones are in comparison to opportunity cost:
One in three people would not sacrifice their mobile phone for one million pounds or more, with women leading the way on those most likely to refuse, the survey by the Carphone Warehouse and the London School of Economics found.
Most respondents aged between 16 and 24 would rather give up alcohol, chocolate, sex, tea, or coffee than live without their mobile phone for a month.
In contrast, more than 40 percent of the those aged over 45 would give the phone simply to be able to have their favourite hot drink.
Asked the same question, I would reply nonchalantly with, “no comment.”
