Remember a time before cell phones -- as in when they were only used to make emergency calls? Now these devices hold the key to our entire lives! Not only are they a main form of communication, but they're our main source for information (from your bank account to your news) and even entertainment. You name it, our phone can do it.

Nicole delves into this topic with CNET's Consumer Tech and Mobile Reporter, Abrar Al-Heeti who offers a sneak peek into the research behidn our phone addiction and the ways we can fix it!
