Mobile Gaming at its Max
By: Duncan Wang

• According to a survey done by Lunden, 96% of
Americans play mobile games at home.
Image via SaharMohamed (Flickr)
53% of American play mobile games in bed.
Image via Ned Guthrie (Flickr)
• Studies shown that mobile radiation makes
people to take longer to fall asleep, and lesser
time in deep sleep.
Image via Nash 95 (Flickr)
• However, research published in Epidemiology
says that mobile phone causes much higher
risk of getting eye cancer, but their studies still
need confirmation.
Image via Maxime GRISETTO (Flickr)
• A survey shows that 44% of people in U.S and
U.K plays mobile games, and the number is
still growing. In addition, this was in 2012, so
the percentage definitely went up a lot.
Image via Ian Dick (Flickr)
• 73% of Canadian citizen play mobile games in
bathroom, and 62% in bed.
Image via jenny downing (Flickr)
You need to stop playing your mobile phones on
the toilet, or else the possibility of getting
hemorrhoid is very high.
Image via PlayStation.Blog (Flickr)
• After all the percentage above, do you still
want to constantly play mobile games?
Image via mu_ne3 (Flickr)
• Do you really want to miss out all the real fun,
and adventures that you can have?
Image via Duncan Wang (ME)
• And these?
Images Via Duncan Wang(ME)
• 32% of people play to kill time, and 34% of
people play because the games are fun, and
some play to flirt, connect with friends.
Image via Teddy James (Flickr)
• Killing time and playing games because it’s fun,
but do you really think sports, adventures, family
time, hanging out with friends, and travel are
really more boring than mobile games?
Image via Moyan Brenn (Flickr)
• Or even less meaningful?
Images via Duncan Wang (Me)
More negative effects on mobile gaming are
• 1. Playing while driving.
• 2. Wasted hours of time, and it can adds up to
a day, a week, or even a month.
• 3. Sleep problems, due to waking up at night
to play mobile games, or just play mobile
game throughout the night.
• 4. Spending money on the game.
Image via dorian lelek (Flickr)
• People would play
mobile games before
their meals are up in a
restaurant instead of
chatting.
Images via Duncan Wang (ME)
• In 2012, there are already 100 million people
in U.S who play mobile games, and it is
growing 35% each year, which means that
there are 35 million more people who started
to play mobile games every year.
Image via Ewan Mclain
• Mobile games stimulated the economics a lot,
for example, the founder of the game Clash of
Clans, made 892 million last year, you can see
why mobile gaming helped the economics
quite much.
Image via Richard Chen (Flickr)
• As I’m trying to say all throughout my
flipboard, try to find some other healthy
activities instead of playing games on your
smartphone.
Image via Duncan Wang(ME)
• Lastly, limiting yourself towards mobile
gaming will allow you to discover more.
