New Wave of technology/New wave of Zombie

A few nights ago i was watching late night with Jimmy Fallon. For those of you who haven't heard, it's a new late night show. On this particular show Jimmy happened to bring in some tech geek from engadget.com. This always interests me somewhat since im a little bit of a gadget freak myself, although as he was showing off this device, and how "easy" it is to do everything, like pulling your contacts from facebook, i became ashamed of what technology has done.

Is it just me, or are 90% of us just buried into our cell phones? Blackberry, iphones, they are all time consuming and a social annihilation. These phones are like a drug, an addiction, to always be on hand, with emails, text messages, facebook posts. And it seems as though, with every new release, and new generation of these phones, it becomes easier to get lost into the unfortunate zombie world. 

What concerns me though, is this: It is without a doubt that our reliance and our use of smartphones are steadily increasing, and with every increase of usage, I personally become a little bit more alarmed at the consequences. It may just be a silly concern, but what exactly are the long term effects of cell phones? Putting those radio waves next to your head for extended periods of time, can that be normal for your body? The Cell phone era really has only begun in the past 10 years, i am seriously concerned as to what, or if there are any long term consequences. For this reason, i try to limit my cell phone use. Unfortunately for me, i fit the description of zombie quite accurately. I have an iphone and i use it quite frequently, for all of the reasons i stated above. But with this added consciousness, it is important to be aware about the amount of use. 

I didnt write this post to scare people away from using their phones, i wrote it becuase i'm scared of using my phone, and whether or not that means anything, that's for you to decide.
