>>> about that story we did recently about teenagers' a addictions to cell phones . it was fairly accusatory. then today came this. two-thirds of adults say the phone is either in or next to the bed at night, though the younger you are the more likely that is. 90% of americans between 18 and 29 curl up with their phones. could there be a deeper social issue to talk about here?
