It just dawned on me while I was waiting my turn at Costco to buy gasoline. Everybody around me in their cars were looking at their cell phones. In fact, whenever I'm at a location around other people who are waiting for something, they're ALL looking at their cell phones. I don't know whether it's some kind of background content on the cell phones, or whether it's the electromagnetic waves from the cell towers. I know this sounds conspiracy'ish, but I really do believe the media and the cell service companies are pushing these devices for more reasons other than just making money.

Conservatives are probably researching, democrats are probably watching porn or finding the next Antifa or BLM rally. But in reality there is some basis for the phone being a Svengalli type appliance in your hand, but the average person is too stupid to understand that concept, so they really are not hypnotized. It is just a way to have immediate satisfaction at your fingertips. Basic American ingenuity at its finest, yet the pull to use it is tremendous. The need to have instantaneous info is is a basic instinct and everybody uses their phone for this purpose. Put simply, kinda nefarious, but more just humans being humans.
