The infographic illustrates, among other things, the number of cellphones per capita in various countries, the rate of cellphone adoption in the U.S. during the past decade and the acceptability of certain behaviors regarding cellphone use.

Here's the comment I left on the Mashable post:

Why is Mashable amplifying form over function brain candy?

What's wrong with this infographic? Data are jumbled temporally. Big time. And sources are 404.

* Wikipedia - URL does not exist
* Guardian - calendar 2008
* Reuters - 404
* MapsOfWorld source - 2006 data
* Pew - July-Sept 2009
* cNet - calendar 2009, projection for 2010
* Marist Poll - No Date Given and no blog post can be found for the date of the chart, 090309, maristpoll.marist.edu/2009/09/page/3/ OR http://maristpoll.marist.edu/2009/03/page/3/

It doesn't source the "text during sex" infographic, a (questionable online only) survey by Retrevo Gadgetology Report (retrevo.com/content/blog/2010/03/social-media-new-addiction)

Here, you can copy and past the URLs and see for yourself:
