Why Do Most Adults Hold Their Phones While Walking? by todaynewsreview: 2:14pm On Jan 21, 2022 |
This is just my personal observation but for a while, I've observed this trend and can't really tell why. Even car owners or drivers, as soon as they stepped out of their vehicles, one of the first things they go for is their phones on their hands. This is a global trend and not just among Nigerians along. Though, it's called handset as most persons will argue, the meaning of the word "handset" doesn't necessarily mean holding it all the time. Handset simply means a "Mobile Phone". Is the pocket or bags not good enough for keeping of phones? Even as I write this, I keep observing same scenario. You may make your research on this too if this hypothesis is valid or not. What do you think is the reason? 12 Likes 1 Share

I’ve not seen this before. The reason I know people hold phones is if their pockets are shallow. I have many shorts with such pockets. Another person said Lagos is filled with pickpockets, that is a good reason. 27 Likes 1 Share |

To reduce radiation from phones, the further away it is from your body, the better. Therefore, holding it in your hand is far better than pocketing it. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Man, you don't walk around Doyin-Orile holding your phone when it is 6:30pm . you hide your phone and wallet very well in your pocket/bag, and run from Railway till you get to the other side of the bus stop (Orile brigde) and this is about 20minutes run.. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

todaynewsreview: You did not tell us whether you do carry your own phone in your pocket or not... But if you do carry your own phone in your hand, tell us your reasons. Options: A. I do because I see others do B. I don't know the reason I do it C. I do because it heavier in my pocket than in my hand D. It's safer in my hand than in my pocket ( the screen can easily get damage in my pocket ) E. I want others to know I have phone too. I choose options C and D ! 4 Likes 1 Share |
