Introduction
Among university students the use of smartphones is becoming more and more common. According to The Telegraph (2014) new research has found that people are spending more time using their smartphones for surfing the web, checking social networks or playing games than making phone calls. “Smartphones are now being used like a digital ‘Swiss Army Knife’, replacing possessions like watches, cameras, books and even laptops”, said David Johnson, general manager of devices for O2 in the UK. The objective of this report is to find out more about the use of smartphones among university students.
