So we use our gadgets to consumen information
Today we have moved from room to share in our times with family or friends along to the TV, to be a bit more individualistic and search through our electronic devices each what suits him best.
Aside from the absurd theories of insulation and other, gadgets such as smartphones, tablets and laptops have changed our patterns of behavior . But not only in the sense that they fill more hours of our entertainment, or provide us with the reading of news and make us more informed, or we make work easier. The strange thing is that according to device use, consume information in different ways. And we may be seeing the same thing, but we do the same.
And it could be an explanation, called Rule of the environment. Different environments are responsible for different uses of the devices. But I still find the topic interesting, in view of the graphics now let’s see where it is clear that although we are creatures of habit, it seems that with the times and technology, this is changing.
In this first chart we can see how the graph is increasing as the day progresses, are the number of articles read per hour for the Read it Later users who use computer to read . There is a clear evolution of seven onwards, a small drop from a peak noon and from nine.
But when using the phone, things change. The chart fluctuates considerably, which we find peaks at key times of our day such as breakfast (6 to 7 approx.), transportation to work (8-9am) from work (5-6), rest and while a sofa, dinner and before going to sleep (8-22h).
It is clear that the customs here are more visible. And is that bad we even many of us at workread on your computer we can not use our phones as much. Live up to their name and their use is focused when on the move or when we use it is more convenient to rely on a computer. But beware, what about the tablets? We see it.
Well here it seems that the user is more active tablet from the six p.m. until bedtime so. Again, a different device, a different way to consume information. It is curious but not without quite logical explanation in my opinion.
According to a group of people, say there is this rule in the environment that we discussed before. Depending on where we are, we make use of the devices in one way or another . I think the issue is approached differently. use the equipment according to where we are and comfort available to us. So we use the phone in the moments when we do not have another device. Examples: I breakfast watching the reader from my mobile phone because it’s something quick while I’m just woken up, I do not need to commute to any computer and is manageable. I can have toast in one hand and mobile in the other, which could not with a tablet (or risking to fall to me).
So as for what would be the working day grow readings on computers. Our job in most cases we are many hours in front of a PC, so it’s natural that with this device is that we handle them rather than the phone. So when we come home, we have set and are comfortable on the couch, is when we can enjoy more big internet and more comfortably with a tablet. Because a laptop is perhaps more uncomfortable.
