Whether it is streaming Netflix or browsing through Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, etc., the internet is leaving all other forms of media in the dust. Smartphones have been at the heart of it all. 

Think of the number of times you saw a movie trailer on TV and went ahead to find it or stream it live on Netflix? 

How about Facebook? How many times do you login to your account daily?

Now the big question is this – How do you access either Netflix or Facebook in times when you don’t have access to your laptop or PC? My best guess is your smartphone.

6. The average internet user checks their phone 58 times daily.
