Reply to "Short Video - Calling it addiction?"

Yes, I also agree. The physician does state having an addiction can lead to individuals losing their jobs and ruining relationships however seems to suggest this isn’t possible with excessive phone use. I would challenge that believe. Employees who are more engaged on their devices than doing work could certainly be faced with job loss and it is evident that device use can have negative impacts on our relationships. My thought is this is a way to gain some media attention while playing with language.
