A new installation named the Connected Heartbeat, spanning nearly four by four metres, illuminates in real time with every call, text, and data connection made on Vodafone's network in London.
The most spectacular display might be at 7:01 pm, as a study of 2,000 adults pinpointed this as the peak time for calls and texts.
On average, an adult sends around 28 messages daily, totalling over 10,000 annually, with Londoners being the most phone-active compared to other regions.
The installation and research were unveiled by Vodafone to mark their second consecutive year as London's Best Network by NET CHECK.
Broadcaster Roman Kemp initiated the heart's glow, urging pedestrians to contribute to the 'heartbeat' with their network activity.
The survey revealed that only 10% frequently make phone calls, ranking it fourth behind WhatsApp messages, SMS messages, and social media updates. Despite this, nearly 13 million voice calls are made daily in London on Vodafone's network.
Additionally, the typical adult participates in eight different group chats. The 25-34 age group is the most engaged, juggling a whopping 12 different groups.
According to a survey 66% of Brits believe that daily digital interaction is crucial for maintaining relationships with their loved ones and think they would have less contact if it weren't for their mobile phones.
