The Cell Phone: The Biggest American Distraction Ever

     I think the invention of the cell phone was the downfall of America.  Why?  Well, I shouldn't talk.  I have one and sometimes I play with it a little too much but here's the thing about cell phones- it was the biggest distraction to the entire American population.  Here's what it's done:

    It's completely destroyed the sense of childhood.  Instead of reading a book, a kid now has a cell phone.  Staying with kids, instead of playing games- they play a game on a cell phone.  Instead of talking they text, along with most adults.

    In terms of us adults, a cell phone is the complete center of our universe.  We're a social media driven society who cannot live without sending a tweet. The cell phone has also opened the door to news, entertainment, etc.  People have decided that they don't need people anymore and that is a bad thing but guess what?  

    Politicians love it.

    The American obsession with the cell phone has led to politicians getting richer and a hell of a lot meaner.  Think about it and try putting that phone down every so often.  You'll be a better person for it.
