Is cell phone usage a new addiction?

Are we becoming a little too attached to our phones?

With the several sources of social media today, there is always a constant reason to check our cell phones. From Twitter to basic texts, notifications have become the main news source. So, what would happen if it all just disappeared? Studies show that the average person checks their phone over 60 times a day. "App opennings" from phone users have even sky rocketed from 16-60 times a day! These "mobile addicts" are mostly made up of teens, college students, and middle aged parents. Some believe that this constant "wearing" of mobile devices will result in a troublesome future for these groups of "addicts."
