A shock study of iPhone users has found that they spend 46.9 per cent of 
their time thinking about something other than what they're doing - and 
this febrile absentmindedness makes them deeply unhappy.

Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert of Harvard uni. "The ability to think 
about what is not happening is a cognitive achievement that comes at an 
emotional cost."
