Do you remember how your life was ten years ago,when there were no smartphones and other gadgets similar to them? It was even hard to find information for school projects, researches and essays. Today you can find any information you need in just a few seconds.
Nowadays,we can not imagine a day of our lives,with our eyes "glued" to the small screen of our smartphone. How can we go through the day without posting on Facebook or sharing a pic on Instagram? Yes,the times have changed drastically this past two decades.
Technology has totally "revolutionized" our lives; for better or for worse! We live in this "smartphone era" and almost everyone older than ten years of age owns a personal smartphone. And it has had a significant indication in our lives... even in our personality . Maybe you do not believe it ,but many studies have been made that show the big break of the 21st century.
Two of the most common smartphone operating systems are: iOS (Apple) and Android OS (Samsung,HTC,Huaweii,Motorola,LG,etc.).
We all have heard rumors about iPhone and Android users being that and that,but not everyone believes in them. It has been the duty of many college departments from all over the world,just to cover this issue. Read the following for more.
Here are some studies and their results:
- In comparison to Android users, iPhone owners are more likely to be female, younger, and increasingly concerned about their smartphone being viewed as a status object.
- Key differences in personality were also observed, with iPhone users displaying lower levels of honesty-humility and higher levels of emotionality.
- The results from the first study showed that Android users are perceived to have greater levels of honesty and humility, agreeableness and openness personality traits but are seen as less extroverted than iPhone users.
So in conclusion, Lancaster University's Dr David Ellis, one of the paper's lead authors,thinks iPhone owners probably scored low on honesty and humility because they appeared to be more materialistic. Iphone users only see their phones as a status object...
This "war" between iPhone and Android will probably go on forever. This problem(let's call it this way) has divided the society in "Android geeks" and "iPhoners". Surely,we will never settle it which is the best. Some say iPhone has the best chip on a smartphone,some say Android is the most practical operating system,and so on. In conclusion,we should start having more live interaction and less online interaction. Do not get me wrong,digitalization of our society is by far one of the best things that has ever happened,because it has made this big world of ours a smaller place,but has a built an invisible wall between us and the real world.
