Oh yeah! Agreed.. I'm not excluding myself from the "obsessive group". I work 35 minutes from my job. On two occasions in last couple of years I forgot my phone - both times I drove all the way home on lunch break to get it.
No such thing as a day without our phones. More aptly put without our "mini computers" and connection to the whole social media world. It's not really "a phone" anymore. It's a connection to the world. We can't be without "the world" for even a day.
It's all understandable. Some people go too far and say we are "addicted". I don't think it's addiction any more than a 1950s audience would be considered addicted to their television. Their televisions were their window on the world. Our phones today are that.
Now people who sit in the same room with each other and text each other or text and check social media during their dinners out together… You people are addicted…
