Cellphone-itis

I am sitting, staring at three cellphones arranged on the table before me--and that isn't even all of them, my ex-wife has one too--thinking, "I must be rich." As a father of teens, I am amazed at the level of complication these little devices can cause, correction, that kids can cause, with so little effort. When the phones reside in the various pockets of my children, they are a source of infinite distraction, yet when I commandeer them, I am left stunned by what I find in the text traffic and plagued by the lack of connectivity I have with them.

"How did I become so dependent?"
