I admit to being just as bad.
My granddaughter turned two in June. She gets my phone and goes right to YouTube to watch Barney or other kid videos. She knows how to skip the ads. She can find the Snapchat app and can take her picture and send it to people. She gives me my phone if it rings. She knows how to hang up a call. It’s crazy.
My daughter is on her phone a lot, too. I often try to talk to her and she doesn’t hear a word I’m saying. I have to wonder how many parents are ignoring their children in favor of their phones.
I don’t think smartphone dependence is confined to teens.
I’m addicted to my cell phone. It’s the best alarm clock ever. I keep it on my nightstand. When insomnia strikes, first I look at Drudge headlines, then I check in here to see what y’all are thinking about whatever...
