Question by Carlos: Has something like “smartphone addiction” been defined?
I have noticed, few of my friends aren’t able to relax without using their smartphone. Is it some phenomenon of these days to be bounded to some device?

No definition…
But for the life of me I CANNOT understand why SUM people have to have the phone in their hand 7/24 listening to music with their hand semi extended as if fencing…
Or others who just carry it around ESP two phones, you would not do it with a wallet..

Or and you do need to do this search on Yahoo Answers as you wont Timberlake me, Only performer I know named Justin

Phone fallen into bath, phone fallen into shower, phone fallen into drink coffee, or food 3.5 mm jack……

Here is the Number One and number two phone fell into the toilet..” I fished it out” yada yada yada, and they want to know how to dry it out WATER DAMAGE excuse me Water?

It gets even funnier as uncooked rice is a desiccant. Rice & Spice yum yum yum.

I know the above is taking recycling one step to far, but I do understand the phenomena you have noticed and everybody could cut down on actual “contact” with their phone

So I don’t game on my phone, we notice people who are more connected than us. So the more specs put in the more using them as fillers between calls text

I use this phone more than the previous, but never in the bathroom / toilet voice mail and if it ever were to end up in the toilet it is because I got inebriated and ate it..
No seriously if my phone fell into the toilet it is GONE …. It won’t be retrieved, I mean why start now
