Smart phones and the media used on them are engineered addiction. The programs are designed to give you more of what you ask for. They are like personal echo chambers.

I deleted my personal facebook account long ago after trying it for a while. Not for me. But I set up an account for investigative purposes (state law enforcement) for my job. (No longer there.) It's amazing what you can find out from some folks' thoughtless blathering.

Which may be true but the fundamental problem still actually lies based in the personality of the user. You can choose to use the phone or, choose to let the phone use you.
