Are you addicted to mobile?

Technology has invaded us in such a way that it would not be a risk to say that they are the ones that dominate us. As a result of the dependency generated by all the devices around us, several applications have been created that measure the use made of smartphones. 

Two entrepreneurs based in Barcelona developed an app that would allow consumers to get rid of excessive cell phone use. It's called Faceup and its motto is very direct: "Life is what happens while you look at the screen of your smartphone." This tool offers statistics about the total time spent using the mobile device and specifically in which applications (Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.).

Moment is perhaps the app that has the most influence and takes the most concrete actions. To reduce the time we spend glued to the screen, it allows the possibility of setting a time limit and, once exceeded, the application itself notifies you and warns you.

Menthal is another application and it is also one of the most complete. It measures absolutely everything that is done with the mobile phone. From the times we unlocked it to the photographs we spread through the hundreds of WhatsApp groups. All the information that is extracted is sent to the servers of the University of Bonn to be analyzed and in this way to be able to investigate in more depth the relationship established between society and new technologies.
