Why would anyone want to be HOOKED UP/IN to anything 24/7 unless they are on life support? Why are so many ADDICTED to Smart Phones?

Ever unhook detach ignore or are you terrified of missing something in real time so you check it every 15 seconds and sleep with it close by? Seriously?

    Smartphones are "smart" because they suck the "smart" out of their owners.

    I can't for the life of me see what's so fascinating about a smartphone.   I've seen people from 8 to 80 mesmerized by them.  They cant walk, talk, eat, drive, work, or even sleep without touching it.   If they lose sight of it - even for a split second - they freak out.  It's not a phone, it's  a pacifier.

    Alas, I'm a dying breed... I don't have a smartphone.  And unless I'm forced to get one for a job (yes, it's a thing now), I don't plan on ever getting one.

    Same here Shuhak but you would know that about me by now. I think you describe it perfectly though. It is a PACIFIER for adults. No doubt. I did not think of it in those terms but what else could hold such magnetic resonance or whatever the heck it is. Thank you for your reply! :)
