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.

I was having a conversation with somebody the other day, regarding people, being on their cell phones all the time. Their head is down, and they’re looking at their phone. I am wondering that overtime, if people will have humped backs, being transferred to our genetics.
When I am standing in line somewhere, and I’m on my phone, I try to be purposeful and hold my phone up in front of my face, instead of down around my stomach or my chest. That way my head is not pointing down. I think the position of how you hold your phone, in a public place, tells people if you are vulnerable or not. I always try to keep my head up, exude, confidence, and keep my eyes open and aware of my surroundings. This is the way.
My husband worked in physical therapy and has seen an increase in patients (especially adolescents) reporting with back/neck issues and hand/thumb issues related to phone use and gaming.
Thanks for the update. I kind of figured something like this would be a new trend.
