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.

We used to leave the house to get away from the phone and enjoy some peace and quiet. Now I’m like probably most everyone else, if I realize I’ve left my phone at home, I’ll turn around and rush back to get it. In my case I’m afraid someone will need me for some kind of help and I won’t be able to help them. As far as social media, this place and pw are my only addictions. I feel this is more informational than social though.
