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.

Cell phones and social media are like everything else in the world that has no free will. They have no intent and are neither good nor evil. What and how you use them determines if they are a positive or negative in your life. Being aware of the effect on your life is key, awareness is always the best antidote to solving your own problems. Only when you recognize the positive and negative in your life can you reinforce the positive and mitigate the negative. (Or the other way around, if you are a masochist).
Nice comment.
