This one is a story about nothing but pretends to study our souls as driven by the draining iPhone battery. For the longest time, I had such a phone myself and was always found close to a wall outlet. My best friend gifted me a phone charger to put me out of my misery. Life has been just normal since then.
That is how easy it is to fix the problem or if you want to spend a bit extra - not impossible to replace the battery either. A team of researchers spending time on analyzing the behavior of low battery iPhone owners seems wasteful and pointless. Better things could be studied in the world.
“The methods we used are basically anthropological,” says Robinson. “[We] get a complete understanding of respondent’s motivations, mapping out their life world.” And as a big part of that understanding, his lab confirmed that “from the moment you get up in the morning, to the moment you go to bed, [energy concerns] are there all the time.”
Spending time on pointless research leads to findings such like "Your personal perception of time and space becomes relegated to the power in your battery.”
