Or better yet, the days of car phones? We sure do.

The mobile device industry has certainly come a long way in the past 40 years, and we largely have companies like Apple Inc., Nokia and RIM to thank for that. Smartphones and similar technologies have not only changed the way individuals operate on a daily basis, but they have also greatly impacted the world’s economy. The mobile and smartphone industry (projected to be worth $341.4 billion by 2015) has been a catalyst for the social media boom while redefining the word “globalization.”

As it’s such an influential market, we wanted to share a infographic from Protect Your Bubble  which outlines some of the impacts resulting from the influx of smartphones and mobile devices.

We’re all faced with cell phones, multiple computers, IM’s, text messages, Facebook messages, and tweets throughout the day. It’s as though we have no choice but to multitask on a constant basis. Did you know that employees who use a computer at work are distracted every 10.5 minutes? That’s kind of insane, no?

I  thrive on jumping from task to task and coming back to things throughout the day. The important thing is to always ensure that each project gets completed to the 100% mark. How about you, would you say you’re an expert multitasker?
