And that addiction is how facebook, twitter, etc. make billions producing nothing but a little adrenalin hit.

cell phone are turning people into zombies.

[Psalm 73]

Don't have one. Got a "flip-phone" I usually leave in my glove box for emergencies.

People look like idiots with those phones stuck in their face all the time.

All SmartyPantsPhones make you stupid.

From the article:

Results also show that participants with higher levels of smartphone addiction tended to exhibit worse
working memory,
visual reaction time,
auditory reaction time,
ability to inhibit motor response,
and behavioral inhibition
compared to participants with lower levels of smartphone addiction.

The list is true and damning. I've watched it worsen in others for several years now. It's like dealing with mentally handicapped people. They're not outright zombies, more like partially there, and it's not just when they're using the actual phone.

Squares with what I’ve noticed about young people who sit around in groups texting people that aren’t present instead of talking to each other.
