My phone? This is my hand... I'm a cyborg.

I'll be honest, if my phone was a bomb.. I would be dead. Not because I use my phone whenever I can, wherever I am, but because I do bring my cellphone with me almost everywhere I go. If a person were to ask me if the phone distracts me.. I could easily and honestly answer NO, it does not distract me. My life does not revolve around my phone, but if there is nothing for me to do, and I am without company.. my phone becomes a part of me and I allow myself to be consumed in the device, because I can. But don't get it twisted, I can kill my phone whenever I want.

All around me I can see people with phones, redirecting their attention to something that seems to be a bit more important to them than what is in front of them. There is no issue with that, it is merely a matter of perspective. IF A PERSON FEELS AS IF THEY SHOULD BE SO FOCUSED ON THEIR PHONE THAT THEY HAPPEN TO WALK INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC and get hit, that is on them, GET WELL SOON. It is not an error of of judgment, and it does not make them irresponsible, it just means they have chosen to focus on their phone. This example may extreme case, and people appear to be more sensible, BUT IT CAN AND DOES HAPPEN.

DIVIDE YOUR ATTENTION AT YOUR OWN RISK!
