Do You Feel ‘Phantom’ Phone Vibrations? — Survey of the Day
As our cell phones evolve to perform more and more functions, we become more and more tethered to the devices.
In fact, our phones have become so much a part of us that the majority of people report feeling 'phantom' phone vibrations during times in which nobody is actually trying to contact them.
An Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne study of 290 undergraduates found that 89 percent have felt the phantom buzz sensation at least once -- usually about once every two weeks.
According to the study, those who attached the most emotional importance to their text messaging are most likely to feel the faux-buzz.
