7. Lack of Focus
Although not everyone with a phone was born with ADD or ADHD, becoming too attached to a cell phone can lead to a condition that looks a lot like it. Too many people spend too much time worrying about whether someone is texting them, or if they are missing the latest status update from their favorite celebrity’s Twitter feed or Facebook page. Focusing too much on a phone can lead to distraction that interferes with normal life, especially for people who are still in school or need to concentrate on their work. When a cell phone starts to interfere too much with normal life, it may be time to start turning it off for a while every day.
