At any given time most individuals in the UK are likely to be carrying an absolute minimum of one piece of electronic equipment on our person, while many will have at least three. As the sight of public telephone boxes becomes rare, we are all reliant on our pocket-sized telephones and handbag-sized computers, not to mention our calculator-sized record collections! Such is our reliance on personal technology that trains often have electric sockets next to each seat to ensure passengers do not have to exhaust the battery on their mobile phone or laptop while travelling!
I bet it would be difficult to find an individual amongst your UK friends and family who doesn’t own and carry a mobile phone. For as little as ten pounds expenditure per month we can be in virtually constant contact with the rest of the world – a small price to pay for safety and security quite aside from the social and business benefits. A mobile phone can also be used as a personal organiser or calculator, a device for storing files, listening to music or accessing the internet.
In many pockets and handbags you are also likely to find either a digital camera, mp3 music player or both. In the most expensive mobile phones these functions are combined, but having high quality components for each activity makes these phones particularly costly.
So, even when a modern individual is travelling ‘light’ and not toting their laptop computer in a shoulder bag, they are still likely to have on their person – contact details for every person they know, all of the photographs they have taken in the last few months, their entire music collection and their diary for the next twelve months! No wonder the insurance of electronic equipment is such huge business.
