A gadget retail site called BankMyCell recently did a survey of 1,200 respondents between the ages of 22 and 37 to find out why they love their smartphones except for talking on them. For the question, which of the following situations would make you avoid an incoming call? 75% answered time consuming calls and 64% said a whiny/needy person.
Overall 81% said that they feel anxious just even talking on the phone.
