50% of Teens Feel Addicted to Their Phones, Poll Says

Nearly 80% of teens in the new survey said they checked their phones hourly, and 72% said they felt the need to immediately respond to texts and social networking messages. Thirty-six percent of parents said they argued with their child daily about device use, and 77% of parents feel their children get distracted by their devices and don't pay attention when they are together at least a few times per week.

Terry Greenwald, a father of three grown children, works as a custodian at a high school in Homer, Alaska, and said the hallways are often half-filled with "teenage zombies who are glued to their phones."

They often walk near the walls so they can move from class to class without looking away from their screens, he said. "It gets interesting when they get to the stairways and the walls end for the stairway," he said. "They don't want to look up and they don't way to tumble down the stairs but often just slow way down and inch along until they reach the wall just past the opening.


50% of teens feel addicted to their phones, poll says - CNN


The more that I observe people with cell phones, the more it worries me. I once thought that smart phones would be such a great technology to have. Now when I look around, I feel like it's given us a nation full of addicts. The levels which it is reaching are unbelievable to me.

Today at work we were talking about the next generation, and how there will never have been a time in their lives when smart phones did not exist. For their entire lives from adolescence onward, everyone having a smart phone will have been the norm - and all that they have ever known. I for one am glad that I am not growing up in that generation.

Oh alright...here's a real one. =P

Google reportedly attains 'quantum supremacy'

The advancements in quantum computing in recent years is nothing short of incredible. I remember having a discussion about this not too long ago on Skype; it's like something out of a sci-fi film, but is actually happening. This would further developments in artificial intelligence and other fields, but could also have major drawbacks as well.

^It's only a matter of time until Google is broken up via anti-trust legislation. They are getting dangerous.

In other news, I learned of this site from the one and only Bill Gates. It's a new news site billed as positive news. Though, it's liberal in some instances, it does provide new interesting pieces.

Rage Against the Machine Announce 2020 Reunion

I hope this leads to a new studio album. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I've always assumed that the reason why RATM have a hard time together is due to the lead singer's political views. IDK. He just seems like he would be a strange pain to deal with.
