Your Smartphone has Officially Hijacked Your Life

By Daniel Sarewitz

It's time for you to take step No.1 and acknowledge that there is a problem that you are powerless to resolve-that the moment you and your date finish ordering dinner you pull out your smartphones and start texting so you don’t have to face the possibility of silence; that you have come to believe that you more-or-less actually have read 《 War and peace》because you read the plot summary on ; that you find out what your kid is up to not by talking to her but by monitoring her Facebook page; that at work you simply cannot go more than 10 minutes without surreptitiously checking email no matter how much else you have to do.
