Mobile Phone Angst [Research] | Social Media Today

A?new report from Pew Internet on mobile phone use?has some good news and bad news. Not marketing-wise, but lifestyle stuff. I see myself in some of this, and I think that is the most disturbing. A few stats that have me scratching my head:

  • 67% of cell owners find themselves checking their phone for messages, alerts, or calls ? even when they don?t notice their phone ringing or vibrating. Some 18% of cell owners say that they do this ?frequently."
  • 44% of cell owners have slept with their phone next to their bed because they wanted to make sure they didn?t miss any calls, text messages, or other updates during the night.
  • 29% of cell owners describe their cell phone as ?something they can?t imagine living without."

More interesting data:

"Despite this connection to their devices, most cell owners don?t worry too much (or get many complaints from their friends) about spending too much time with their phones:

  • 11% of cell owners say that they themselves sometimes worry that they are spending too much time with their phone.
  • 12% of cell owners say that people they know tell them that they are spending too much time using their phone.

Indeed, many cell owners hear complaints from friends that they don?t devote enough time to monitoring their mobile communications."

One phenomena I've seen in public attached to this batch of stats is what I call "mobile phone envy." If one person in a crowd takes out their mobile phone to check messages, others nervously fidget and then pull out their phones and do the same. I'm not sure what causes this, whether it's actual fear of being left out, the need to feel important, or what...but watch for it.

On the more serious side, given the umbilical nature of cell phones these days, how do we capitalize on that? Or maybe more importantly, how do we ease it? The old "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" comes to mind but then aren't we part of the problem? Or, is it a problem? Thoughts to ponder over the weekend. P.S. - how long can you go without looking at your phone?

Traveling Off the Holiday Blues - Travel Insurance Services Blog

2b3142deaff411e18bb812313804a181_7Submitted by Joe Cortez

Since restarting this blog in October, I've written a lot of content. But this week, for some reason, I've found a hard time in trying to put pen to paper and?crank something out.?I partially blame the Thanksgiving break, and the fun that was all the shopping that took place after the holiday weekend. Even my?regular sources of inspiration have been of no assistance.?Which is why I'm really hoping that my holiday travels will get me inspired once more.

Its very true that normal people dread holiday travel like going to the dentist, or spending more than two hours in their small hometown. I, however, am looking forward to getting out and seeing how other places celebrate the holiday season. And I don't know that I'm alone in this feeling, as the?Wall Street Journal reports that air travel bookings are up more than 50%?this year.?Whatever you want to call it, more and more people are getting out this holiday season.

Can travel be a theraputic exercise? At least one study, published in 2001 by Dr. Jeffrey Kottler suggests that "...travel can provide [individuals] with the opportunities to practice what they are learning..., gain insight, and provide context for attempting different ways of behaving." Additionally, several hospitals and doctors recommend travel programs as a way to keep patients spirits high, which can aide in the treatment of and healing from disease.

So while my two excursions in the next two weekends will be anything but scientific, I plan on using them as a way to get my head back into the game once more for the year-end rush. This is despite the fact that normal convention says I should avoid traveling unless I must, as there is a higher chance of trip delay, cancellation, or even baggage loss.?Not to mention the fact that?the last time I attempted this, I had a really hard time?readjusting to the time?zone changes.

So how can I make sure my therapy trips don't turn into?a travel loss of their own? Here's my game plan going into the next two?weekends of traveling:

  • Stay in one time zone (figuratively)
    Lucky for me, this weekend's road trip to Canada will keep me in the Eastern Time Zone. Unlucky for me, my travel to San Francisco next weekend will put me on Pacific Time. While on the west coast, I plan on keeping myself on Eastern Time by waking up three hours earlier than I normally would, and going to bed three hours earlier. This way, I should have no problem readjusting once I get back from my travels. Also note that this is much easier to going east than it is going west.
  • Weigh price against convenience
    The last time I vacationed in the northeast, I ended up with a flat tire that cost me $300 to replace. This year, I'm using my status at a car rental company to rent a car for the road trip Why would I do this? I'm not a smoker, and if something goes wrong with the car (like said flat tire), I have?a number to call for?assistance. Plus, with the promotions, I get a free rental car day as a result!
  • All I want for Christmas is...
    This year, I've asked friends and family to skip the holiday gift exchange this year - I'd much rather take them to dinner and catch up instead. If they feel like they must give me something (Grandma), then I'm having no shame asking for select gift cards and cash. This covers my travel expenses this holiday season, and allows me to save up for my January trip - when I'm going to really need to get out of the cold.

I'll let you know how it goes as I make my trips this weekend and next. And, yes, I have my travel insurance for both of these mini-excursions this winter. Not that I anticipate I'll have a trip delay or baggage loss...but just in case I do, I'll be ready.

How do you escape the holiday blues while on the road? I'd love to hear your thoughts and try them these next two weekends - let me know in the comments below!

Freestyle: 'Middle of Nowhere' stirs imagination ? Honolulu, Hawaii ...

BY ELIZABETH KIESZKOWSKI / ekieszkowski@staradvertiser.com

Ava DuVernay?s ?Middle of Nowhere? is a significant film. DuVernay made history this year with her Best Director Award at the Sundance Film Festival, as the first black woman to take this prize. It?s an atmospheric, thoughtfully presented and beautifully acted independent movie, illuminating the experience of imprisonment ? actual and metaphorical.

In the film, a talented medical student puts her dreams on hold while her husband is in prison. The film considers the woman?s story up front, and we don?t know at first why the man is in jail. What we see is the depth of the wife?s passion, her steadfastness, the burden she bears in keeping contact with him and the sacrifices she makes.

With disproportionate numbers of African-American men imprisoned in the United States today, a film that brings to light the way this affects women?s lives is worth your time. But don?t be too comfortable in your expectations.

The movie doesn?t settle for making either the heroine (Emayatzi Corineadli) or her jailed husband (Omari Hardwick) one-dimensional victims. It takes off in less predictable directions, and the pensive Corineadli keeps your attention as she faces up to her situation. The handsome David Oyelowo also plays an instrumental part in this story.

Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times calls it ?classic filmmaking of a completely different sort.? The New York Times called it ?soul-stirring.? And now the film is being bandied about as a possible Oscar contender in the Best Screenplay category.

The filmmaker?s own story is also inspiring. An accomplished publicist, she did not go to film school, but has said that she learned by observing on set with clients that included Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood and Michael Mann.

See the film at Honolulu Museum?s Doris Duke Theatre, with screenings tomorrow through Dec. 7. (Click here for showtimes and to buy tickets online.) It serves as a preview for the museum?s African American Film Festival, coming up in February.

I THINK you?ll like the music as well. DuVernay knows music: She?s the director of the 2008 hip hop documentary ?This is The Life,? and of 2010 BET/TV One docs ?My Mic Sounds Nice? ? on female hip hop artists ? and ?Essence Music Festival 2010.?

I went looking for the soundtrack artists, taken by the moody, sensual aura the movie?s music created ? most by women artists. They include the amazing Little Dragon and Goapele ? both have performed in Honolulu ? as well as other dreamy acts like MelodiousFly and Ra-Re Valverde (check out this hypnotic track, ?On Time?). I?ve been listening to this music all week!

I was especially drawn in by the mysterious post-punk/live electro of Spektrum, an outspoken British trio headed by singer Lola Olafisoye ? and was pleased to discover a Pacific connection, as Spektrum drummer Isaac Tucker is from New Zealand. The band is playing several shows in New Zealand this month, culminating with New Year?s Eve. Too bad I don?t have any vacation left! Let me share some of this awesomeness with you. Thank me later, leave a comment, or better yet, go forth and buy some of this gorgeous music.
