phone minutes are 2.5 times number of desktop minutes ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
2. Daytime vs Evening: desktop dominated day, but mobile phone dominates evening with
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
peak at 8PM ||\\//|| ||\\//||
, 3. Device usage: Smartphones are used more than any other technology (then laptops,
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
tablets, desktops) ||\\//||

the advent of 5G connection technologies will accelerate an "always-connected" state for a
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
majority of people around the world. ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

of the body.
||\\//|| ||\\//||
