Are Phones Making People Late... Or Just More Flexible?

Mobile phones have made people less organised and more willing to be late when meeting their friends, according to a survey, reports The UK Telegraph.

"Nearly one in five people admitted to being unreliable about timekeeping because they had the "safety net" of a mobile. Three quarters said mobiles had made them more "flexible" when meeting friends - allowing them to arrange or cancel social gatherings at the last minute.

The findings came from a study of 1,000 adults and was carried out by Intel."
