Mobile devices in the bathroom

Recent studies have shown that almost half of Japanese have taken mobile devices to the bathroom at least once. It could be a mobile phone, portable music player / player or game console. 41.2% of respondents used them in a relaxing bath. According to AFP (Agence France-Presse), the statistics are similar to those collected at Sega: both by age and by gender. One of the most common answers to the question “why do you take devices with you to the bathroom?” Was the following: “I want to quickly check email”. The second common answer is “to listen to your favorite music.” The organizers of the study believe that the case may be in advertising. The fact is that cell phone manufacturers position their devices as waterproof (or, as they say, “bath-friendly”). Thus, high-tech devices are used constantly and almost everywhere. The Japanese can rightly be considered a high-tech community.



PS: For reference, about 60% of mobile phones can be used not only for calls. They support mobile TV features. A total of 20 million users of mobile operators have signed up for this service.
