Week 4: What your Smartphone says about you?
As an iPhone user, the article Android, iPhone, Blackberry: What They say about You caught my eye. I was curious to see if I fit into the stereotypical iPhone user category. According to the article I am more likely to have a landlines than an Android users, less likely to recycle than the Blackberry user, and more chatty than other phone users. Well.....I don't have landline, only recycle on campus, and don't spend much time talking or texting on my phone, so I guess they were right on one instance. The article also revealed that iPhone users were more likely to make purchases and watch TV on their phone than Android or Blackberry users; I occasionally make purchases but never watch TV on my phone. Where the article did seem to match me correctly to other iPhone users was when it pointed out that users are not as techy as they may seem. iPhone users are more likely to rent movies from Blockbuster, read books, and not know what type of TV they have, all of which I do. So I guess my phone does reveal some things about me. I wonder if the Blackberry and Android users feel the same way?

I too am an iPhone user and definitely NOT tech savvy. Actually setting up this blog was a huge step for me! The deal with the iPhone is that it's sooo easy to use. Macs are user friendly in general. I fit the iPhone match - landline, chatty, no recycling....
ReplyDeleteI know that the survey came up with these results, but it seems pretty strange to be able to classify someone based on his or her phone. I'm going to do a bit of research for myself.
