Your Life Is Fully Mobile - “We walk, talk and sleep with our phones. But are we more—or less—connected?” »

To better understand attitudes about mass mobility, Time, in cooperation with Qualcomm, launched the Time Mobility Poll, a survey of close to 5,000 people of all age groups and income levels in eight countries: the U.S., the U.K., China, India, South Korea, South Africa, Indonesia and Brazil.
