Very interesting article here regarding the habits of hotels guests who used mobile devices during travel. It opened my mind to how dependent on this technology we are. The project was completed by Four Points by Sheraton, a brand by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. Over the duration of the experiment, 6,000 people were polled. What I found to be the most interesting fact in this study was that the majority of us use 3 - 4 mobile devices whenever we travel.

When we travel we just grab all of our electronics and hit the road not even thinking about how many different items we are taking with us and why. This is exactly why at airports people get so aggravated waiting at security lines; people have to take each item out of their bag to go through the x-ray machine. Now if we would just leave 2 of the 4 items at home the time it takes to get through security would be cut in half!
