Cell Phone Detox
This experiment will test the effects on ones social and daily life when they are put to the test of no cell phone use for an entire week.
This case study will consist of three groups of five people. Group one will be within the age range of 20-30. Group two 31-40 and group three 41-50.
Each group will be required to go sans cellular phone for one calendar week. Groups will have no access to any cellular device or feature for the duration of the experiment. They will be required to take a daily journal reflecting on how they cope without the use of their phone. They will log in their journal how they keep in contact with friends and family, how not having their phones affects their day to day. This includes how the absence affects their personal and business relationships. They will also keep not of how they scheduled social time and if there was an increase or decrease in those interactions throughout this week.
Groups will then report back at the end of the week and results will be determined based on the journals that are turned in.The groups are broken down into age brackets to see if the effect will vary by age. There will also be a control group within the same age range that will not be required to go without their mobile phones. These groups will also be required to keep the journal. The control group will help determine if in fact the mobile phone users have much less social interaction than those without the phones
