Comments: It seems to day every where I go the is some one yapping about their date last night with the last hottie. Man I wish I could have a device that blanked out any signal in a 20 foot radius.

I mean it is bad enough at work you can not even go potty with out it ringing then get home and people live on the things. I think people today are addicted to their phones. I mean 60 to 190 a month to yap to some one who live around the corner. Get off you but and go see them.

Why do you leave yours one when driving or walking in a video store? Are you on call or scared to be alone? Or are you actually a phone addict?

I think many are addicted.

We're not addicted to smartphones, we're addicted to social interaction. Mobile-device habits may not be anti-social, but rather hyper-social -- stemming from a healthy human need to socialize. This is the finding of a new review of the dysfunctional use of smart technology, which concludes that the most addictive smartphone functions all share a common theme: they tap into the human desire to connect with other people.
