Interesting Fact - Health

According to researchers at the University of Derby, smartphones are psychologically addictive, and should come with a health warning.

(47% of respondents spoke positively of improved social relations, but almost a quarter admitted their smartphones create communication issues in “real life”, and the constant use of smartphones to check your online status on social networks etc, is thought to encourage narcissistic tendencies: 35% of the people studied admitted to using their devices in areas or situations when they were banned (eg while driving).  Their justification was that they knew better than the authorities who created the rules.

I guess that's also why some people still drink and drive.  Maybe the two aren't that dissimilar.)
