Cell Phone Addiction

Find yourself on your phone every minute of the day? Checking your phone because you just feel the need to? Cell phone addiction is a huge problem in todays society. They have become a huge part of everyone's lives for social and business purposes. The use for a cell phone has changed drastically causing it to be more important in every day things. The worst part is we are training kids at a young age to be addicted to it. The age of someone getting a cell phone now days is much younger than it was when I was a kid. According to Mens Health there are four signs that show you are addicted to your phone.
Here they are:

1. Anticipation: Frequently thinking about calls or messages you may receive.
2. Activity interference: Choosing to spend time on your phone rather than talk to friends or family or engage in other activities.
3. Emotional reaction: Becoming angry when someone interrupts your phone time, or feeling irritated when not on your phone.
4. Problem Recognition: Recognizing you spend too much time on your phone and trying to cut back.

Thinking about your phone and when your going to receive your next text distracts you from whatever you are doing. Whether it is having lunch with a friend, driving, or having a conversation, you will not be able to do the task as well as you should be.
