"A study out Wednesday from the Pew Research Center found that two-thirds of parents are concerned about the amount of time their teenage children spend in front of screens, while more than a third expressed concern about their own screen time."

I owned a cell phone back before everybody could afford one. It was about the size of a dictionary with a handset corded to the big box. The cost was incredible. It made me money, on the other hand. I got so tired of being constantly connected that I threw the thing out the truck window while driving down the interstate at 75 mph! I swore to never get another one. I finally bought a flip phone for The Woman for "emergencies". Still have it.

I've been eating at restaurants and seen people sitting one across from the other each pecking away their lives on their machines. Really?

Now peeps are finally realizing they have become one with the phone...99% of the value of the conversations they are pecking about...totally worthless, probably.

I think if they had their phones forcibly removed they would collapse in a fetal position heap on the floor.
