In today’s world, smartphones have solidified their position as the most essential piece of technology in our daily lives. According to a recent survey conducted by Telegraf.rs, smartphones have overwhelmingly become the dominant technology, with a staggering 74.33% of respondents indicating that they use them more than any other device.
This overwhelming preference highlights how deeply embedded smartphones have become in our routines. From checking emails, and social media, to staying connected with friends and family, smartphones have transformed into an indispensable tool that caters to a wide array of needs.
In contrast, traditional technologies like laptops and PCs, while still significant, lag far behind. Only 14.10% of the participants reported that they use a laptop or PC as their primary technology in daily life. Despite their continued relevance for tasks that require more processing power or a larger screen, these devices are no match for the convenience and portability offered by smartphones.
| Technology | Percentage of Respondents |
|---|---|
| Smartphone | 74.44% |
| Laptop/PC | 14.07% |
| Tablet | 2.68% |
| Smartwatch | 0.95% |
| Voice Assistant | 0.43% |
| None of the above | 5.70% |
| Something else | 1.73% |
Even more striking is the limited use of other modern technologies. Tablets, which once promised to bridge the gap between smartphones and laptops, are used by just 2.70% of respondents. Similarly, smartwatches, despite their growing popularity for fitness tracking and quick notifications, are used by a mere 0.96% of those surveyed. Voice assistants, which have been widely touted as the future of smart homes, are utilized by only 0.43% of participants.
Interestingly, the survey also revealed that a small but notable percentage of the population does not rely on these technologies at all. About 5.74% of respondents indicated that they do not use any of the listed devices in their everyday lives. An additional 1.74% selected the “something else” option, suggesting the presence of alternative technologies or a preference for more traditional, non-digital means of communication and information retrieval.
These results paint a clear picture of the technological landscape today. While a variety of devices are available on the market, smartphones stand out as the unrivaled champions of everyday life. Their versatility, accessibility, and ever-expanding capabilities make them an all-in-one solution for modern living, far outpacing other forms of technology in terms of daily usage.
As technology continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how the balance shifts and whether other devices can challenge the dominance of the smartphone in our increasingly connected world. But for now, the smartphone reigns supreme, shaping the way we interact, work, and play.
