One third of Australians are spending too much time online.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the headline of new research commissioned by VTech Telecommunications Australia <\/a>that found that many of us are constantly connected with smartphones and tablet devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may come as no surprise that millennials are the top offenders with 47 percent admitting that they spend too much time online…compared to 22 percent of baby-boomers.
Now the research also revealed that more than a quarter of us are actively trying to reduce the amount of time we spend online but for some millennials, the fear of being un-contactable is holding them back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VTech research shows that one quarter of Aussies say one of the best things about having a home phone is that it means they can switch off their mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
