...was the statement of a student who said he only checked his Facebook page between classes! So what's addicted? Checking it often DURING class? I would assume so.
There's even a commercial on TV where a girl is shown breaking up with her boyfriend via a text message, and updating her Facebook page at the same time, while seated across from him at a table at an outdoor cafe. It's a commercial for a cell phone company.
Do we really need to be in touch with everybody and everything on a minute-to-minute basis? How do you sleep? Oh, I forgot, some of these people sleep with their phones under their pillows. How restful a night's sleep can that be if a friend has insomnia and thinks you should be awake too?
How much will insurance companies be paying for carpal tunel syndrome operations in a couple years? If they were smart, the policies would add wording that says it's not covered if caused by texting. They should start today...Day 53!
