I see it at an increasing rate daily.
Early this year I was eating lunch in a Wendy's Parking lot when I noticed a SUV creeping along while turning into the parking lot. While making the turn the SUV came to complete stop and was nearly rear ended. The SUV then proceeded to creep around the packing lot and eventually found a parking spot directly behind me. After about 5 minutes the drivers door opened, a couple minutes after that a leg was seen dangling out the door and eventually a woman focused on her cell phone stumbled out of the vehicle......she was totally absorbed in her texting session and oblivious to what was going on around her.
For growing number of USERS the cell phone use should be considered a mental illness or addiction, and use of the device should be limited in the same manner as a Schedule III Drug.
I consider myself fortunate to have lived through a time were the phone wasn't available 24/7/365 and you had to wait on the Postman to get your written messages.
