That catchphrase used by Verizon has become part of our culture. Cell-phone use has expanded into every activity in our lives from emergency communication to picking products from a grocery shelf. It sometimes seems people have no idea what to do with a spare moment other than make a cell-phone call, text, listen to music or surf the Web. It is estimated at the end of 2012 there were 8 billion cell-phone users worldwide.
Using a cell phone can be a significant distraction whether you are the one doing the talking/texting/perusing or are in the presence of someone doing the same.
