Authors note -
The addiction to cell phones and other electronic devices is destroying our society, families, and relationships. People drive 4000-pound autos while texting, gaming, and watching videos. Walking down the sides of the streets or highways and weaving into danger at their peril. Families or couples in a fine restaurant, four feet away from each other, with their faces buried in their devices. The Danse Macabre is here, and we are waltzing a dangerous set.
Put it down, go outside, and have a face-to-face conversation with your loved ones. And when you go to bed, turn the damn things off. Then, as the Trekkies say, you will live long and prosper. If you don’t believe this cell phone DISTRACTION epidemic applies to you, then you are OBFUSCATING.
