That new smartphone you just bought? It may well be the "most important technology" in your life.
A survey conducted by Cisco on 2,800 respondents found that 66 per cent of students and 58 per cent of young employees consider mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones or tablets to be the most important technology in their lives.

The survey reported that mobile technology has overshadowed older devices such as televisions (TVs) and newspapers when it comes to providing information.
Fewer than six per cent of college students and eight per cent of employees polled said TVs were important.

Similarly, only four per cent of college students and employees surveyed globally said the newspaper is their most important tool for accessing information.
