Interesting if not an alarming article.
Our daughter is probably the worst when it comes to not getting her head out of her phone. I know how it feels to try and have a conversation with her across the dinner table whilst she's looking at her phone. Its caused no end of trouble. Her language started to be different to the norm too. She'd look at you pan faced when something was funny and say "LOL" and I'd ask, "why did you just say that? I mean, you didn't laugh out loud did you, in fact you didn't even find it the slightest bit funny.
