In 2016 it was estimated that the average user touched their cell phone 2,617 times a day and used it for 145 minutes. https://blog.dscout.com/mobile-touches Most of this is in combination with other activities (multitasking) which according to research should be difficult to do effectively.

The impact of cell phone use on driving has been heavily studied. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that distracted driving resulted in 2,841 deaths in the United States in 2018. https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/distracted-driving

The effects of cell phone distraction go beyond driving. Recently, the National Safety Council has added distracted walking as a category for causes of accidents, noting the increase in fatalities among pedestrians as they walk along looking at their cell phones. https://www.nsc.org/home-safety/safety-topics/distracted-walking

But this distraction goes beyond the highly discussed distractions in driving and walking. Researchers have found that cell phone distraction (both using it and just having it nearby) is affecting relationships in a negative way. https://time.com/4311202/smartphone-relationship-cell-phone/#:~:text=Being%20attached%20to%20your%20phone,attachment%20with%20your%20loved%20one.&text=Other%20research%20reveals%20the%20dark,the%20other%20person%20feel%20good.

But even more relevant to this course, just the presence of your cell phone can cause cognitive impairment. Read the article at Science Daily here.

With all of this evidence against them, why do we continue to use them? Are you surprised by the research you read? Discuss!

Discussion Board Hints:

Be very clear and stick to the point when writing posts

Check for spelling/grammar errors and do not use slang

Be respectful of others with appropriate choice of language

Challenge others, but avoid personal attacks

Be careful when using humor online – it can easily be misinterpreted

When responding to others don’t just say “I agree or disagree with your point”. Give a brief overview of what you are agreeing/disagreeing with so that others don’t have to try to figure out what you are talking about.
