Technology Update

I read a couple of articles recently that serve as great examples of how our obsession with technology is compromising our ability to function properly. One is a boxing match on March 27th where a boxer had his cell phone fall out of his pants during a boxing match. See the video.  Don't want to miss a call or a text message even if you are in the midst of a boxing match.

The other is the result of a recent Penn State study of 152 college students who admit to texting during class, while taking a shower, and even while having sex. The participants responded to a 70-question survey about their personal texting habits. Over 34% say they sent or receive more than 100 texts in a day and all of them check their phone every four minutes for text messages. See the article.
