Addicted to email? You’re not alone
The results from AOL’s fourth annual
email addiction survey revealed that Americans, at least, are a nation of email addicts, and it’s getting worse.
According to AOL, 51% of respondents check their email four or more times per day, up 6% from last year and almost half (46%) admit to their email addiction.
And the addiction is spreading into leisure time for many people — 62% read their work email at home on weekends, 19% do so more than five times. “Worse, 28% said they feel obligated to check work email while on vacation, and 19% choose vacation spots with email access,” wrote AOL in a press release.
In bed in their pajamas: 67%.
From the bathroom: 59% (up from 53% last year).
While driving: 50% (up from 37% last year).
In a business meeting: 38%.
From church: 15% (up from 12% last year).
