Is technology making men obsolete? According to a new survey, women find it more difficult to go without a phone for a week than their partners.

The survey conducted by Bausch & Lomb revealed that one in five respondents spent an average of 12 hours more a week on their smartphones than on their partners.

The study also showed that these women were more prone to stress, anger and panic when they did not have access to their phones when they wanted it.

”All of this interaction and addiction with our digital devices creates problems for our eyes,” psychologist Chireal Shallow told The Sun.

“More than half say their eyes feel tired at the end of the day,” she said.

There have been previous studies linking cellphone usage to depression and failed romantic relationships.
