A recent survey by Marsh Inc, reported on by japan.internet.com, into mobile phone alarms found mobiles preferred by over twice as many over traditional alarm clocks.
Demographics
Between the 12th and 16th of May 2010 300 members of the Marsh online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. The sample was 50:50 males and female, 0.7% in their teens, 19.3% in their twenties, 20.0 in their thirties, 20.0% in their forties, 20.0% in their fifties, and 20.0% agred sixty or older.
Sigh, I cannot remember the last time I woke up naturally as five days a week I have to face this:
Following on from when I commented on my own experiences in yesterday’s survey into mobile phones versus alarm clocks, as promised (threatened?), I uploaded a look at my two alarm clocks:
