Today is your day Boomer! Are you addicted to your smartphone Boomers? The latest survey of North Americans indicates the answer is yes and we, Boomers, are no longer "Luddites".....meaning we lack knowledge of technology. In fact, the survey found we spend 5 hours a day on our phones and that is very close to Millennials who are at 5.7 hours! Other numbers from the survey may surprise you: one hour per day is spent on Facebook, 44 minutes on Instagram, 43 minutes on email, 30 texting, and 23 on the internet. So it looks like we are addicted to social media, and the survey goes on to state that we are the biggest spreaders of fake news or misinformation! Wow, that is one badge I don't want on my chest. This survey is a little scary. It means we are spending too much time on our butts reading blogs like this one and not exercising and or being active. It is more understandable in the winter....but not in the active other three seasons. It is also a reflection of this terrible time of COVID when many of us choose to remain indoors and a little closed off from the world. Check out the cartoon picture of The Beatles; isn't it amazing how drastically our lives have changed since 1970? Tech on Boomers! Cheers.
