For most people, it certainly isn’t talking. According to a new
survey
, here’s what people actually use their phones for every day:
Texting – 87%
Emails – 76%
Alarm clock -- 76%
Social media -- 64%
Reading blogs and the news – 60%
Shopping – 57%

Will the trend towards using our phone for just about everything continue? Most likely. Young adults (18-29 years old) use their phones more frequently in each of the use cases above. In addition, young adults are more likely to use their phones for online banking (72%), playing a game (65%), taking a survey (55%), and watching a show/movie (50%).
