Study Shows Students Addicted to Their iPhones, Captain Obvious Wanted for Questioning

A recent study at Stanford University showed that up to 44% of students admit to a full-on or partial addiction to their iPhones. The rest are apparently terrible liars.

When asked to rank their dependence on the iPhone on a scale of one to five � five being addicted and one being not at all addicted � 10 percent of the students acknowledged full addiction to the device, 34 percent ranked themselves as a four on the scale, and only 6 percent said they weren�t addicted at all… Nearly 85 percent of the iPhone owners used the phone as their watch, and 89 percent used it as their alarm clock. In fact, 75 percent admitted to falling asleep with the iPhone in bed with them, and 69 percent said they were more likely to forget their wallet than their iPhone when leaving in the morning.

Jeesh, if those are the qualifications for iPhone addiction, sounds like I could use an intervention. And not of the bovine variety.
