Cell Phones: Devil’s Work, Godsend, or Both
Manage episode 483856613 series 3635682
In the U.S., nearly all adults (clocking in at about 98%) own a cell phone. That’s roughly 331 million people. The vast majority, about 91%, of those cell phone owners have a smartphone. In Episode 18, Danielle and Cheryl explore their love/hate with their phones. Yes, they’re obviously helpful but do we really need to be able to text, track, talk, and Google at any given second. Newsflash: we lived without them for centuries. They also talk about how a surprising study actually found that kids with cell phones are happy and more social. Who knew?
