Digital use changes human behaviour with people using smartphones as extensions of their memories

Europeans are using their smartphones as extensions of their memories, with 79% of people more reliant on their digital devices today than they were five years ago.

Newly published research has found that 49% of people under the age of 35 and 35% of people over 35 worry about their reliance on their phones.

Approximately 43% said they scan information they receive on their digital device as soon as it comes in, returning to it later.
