Take a look arsmartphonestound today at people in line at a grocery store or waiting for their bags at the airport .. What do you see?! Most of them are staring down into a glowing mobile device,  passing time by checking on friends, catching up on texts or e-mail or playing a game. Thanks to technology, we can see a change in how people today kill time.

Between smartphones & tablets we’re becoming a society that’s ready to kill even a few seconds of boredom with a tap on a touchscreen.  Is smartphones dependency bad?

“Before smartphones came out, you had that down time where you sit on the bus/taxi/car and your mind just kind of wanders and you think of these amazing things. You get out that old thing called pen and paper and you jot it down.”
