Twelve percent of respondents have been told by friends and family that they spend too much time using their devices.&nbsp; Thirty-nine percent of owners have also heard complaints from people that say they did not reply to messages or calls quickly enough.<\/p>\n<p>Although 65 percent say that the devices help them to stay in touch with their loved ones better, nine percent complain that cell phones are making it harder for them to switch off from work life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is official: Americans both love and hate their new and old cell phones, with
