I found this very interesting article from The Atlantic in a link from the previous post about Common Sense Media resolutions. The attachment people of all ages develop with their mobile devices, particularly phones, appears to be creating some significant health problems. Texting while not fully awake is one of them. The result could be merely embarrassing or worse.
One of the researchers studying this phenomenon said:
“It’s impacting teens and young adults, because
they’re pretty much attached to the phone like an appendage. The younger
generation grew up with texting and with Facebook and they’re checking
their phones every two minutes during the day,” Gelb explains. “It’s
just a part of their lives. This is all they know, this is what they
grew up with.”
