My wife and I shut down cell phone usage at least an hour before we hit the bedroom. Cell phones are a sleep inhibitor and if someone needs to get in touch with us at a late hour, we’ll hear the notification from the other room.

Love the name Wild World of History. In the ‘80s when I was doing batch transmissions my receiving terminal name was “Wild and Wacky World of Wayne.”

Science has NOT shied away from stating unequivocally that a new text or new email targets the same part of the brain as sex, food and narcotics.

You get a hit of dopamine each and every time you get that ding that there’s a new text or email.

Like lab rats, we want that hit again and again so we keep checking.

Of course there are differences like no tremors and shakes and possible seizures from withdrawal.

I think!! :)

Here is the simplest of simple rules with regards to using the Internet on your little 2 x 3 device there

If you’re around any other human beings , especially your own family or children , you should not have your phone out at all

I’m talking about other human beings that you’re interacting with

In a restaurant you should never ever have your phone out. Period

If you’re out of doors , you should not be looking at your phone at all

Try to think of your phone this way - it is a telephone ! it is designed for you to be able to talk to other human beings

Whoa. Mark Steyn just gave a synopsis of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" that correlates perfectly with this thread.

We live in a world where we numbly and blindly comply with those who seek to destroy freedom while we are distracted by our addiction to the sensual pleasures brought to us by our electronic devices.

I would wager that photography, film, audio recording, and telephone have all had a deleterious effect on civilization to some extent. Smart phones have all that in on package. What’s the problem? These things amplify our perceptions and estimations of personal power and worth.
