This trend is especially prevalent among 18 to 34 year olds, with 40% of them saying that they sleep with their cell phones while 33% say they text while at the dinner table. Other statistics include:<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;87% say they would be lost without their cell phones, having very few numbers committed to memory.<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;53% say they often take their cell phones with them into the bathroom.<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;30% feel uncomfortable if their cell phone is not within easy reach.<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;28% say they spend more time texting and reading messages than they do making eye-to-eye contact with loved ones.<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;17% say they would rather lose their car keys than their cell phone.<br>\nBut while the love affair with communication via cell phone is a strong one, attachment to a particular handset is short-lived, with 55% of the Americans surveyed saying they had replaced either their phone or someone else\u2019s in the last 12 months. Once replaced, old handsets tend to end up in a drawer or thrown away; which puts Americans behind in adopting a more-ecological friendly mode of disposal \u2013 the cell recycle. Recycling cell phones can not only provide a bit of extra spending cash, it works towards preventing unwanted toxic wastes reaching food and water sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a report by Business Wire, the relationship Americans have with their cell phones rivals that which they have with friends
