When I go to the gym, everybody and I mean EVERYBODY, is looking at their cell phone. If they're not actually on a treadmill or using a weight machine, they're staring at their cell phone. In between sets, they're staring at their cell phone. It would be comical if it wasn't so scary. I'm the only one there without a cell phone. In between sets, I either pace the floor back and forth, or I'll hop on another machine. I don't own a cell phone and never had one. I can see how they would be useful in certain situations, but when I look around and see how people are so addicted to them, I don't want no part of it. The next evolution after the cell phone will be the chip. I can tell right now that people will be lining up to get the chip.

You can bet your bottom dollar everyone will line up for the chip if it gives them immediate access to social media without having to hold a physical device. It's truly the biggest addiction in the world right now, could even be worse than hard drugs... the dopamine and seratonin release that gets triggered from upvotes and likes... is a literal drug problem in of itself.
There are lots of studies on this, technology and social media withdrawal is a real thing. There are even physical and mental side effects. There are many people I know that get "phantom phone" ?

How you know so much about a phone if you don't have one? "Lots of studies" ok Dr. phoneci
Anyone who quotes "studies" is a fuckin SPOOK
