Cell Phone Use Seen as 'Positive' Addiction

hahahaha. *wipes eyes* positive addiction? so, crashing your car going 65 mph with a phone glued to your ear represents a positive addiction? maybe i should start actually talking on mine (from my dad, on a messge 'you need to get another cell phone. that you actually keep with you. so i can get a hold of you. you never answer yours' well, dad, that's because i rarely carry it. i hate the damn thing) so i can develop this positive addiction.

The responses showed that cell phone users are perceived as fun, friendly, confident, "cool" and successful, among other socially desirable images, Cassidy told Reuters Health.

ooo. ooo. i wanna be fun friendly and cool, too! all i need is a cell phone to appear that way? why didn't anyone fill me in on this important information sooner? ;) i think dan has a cell phone addiction. do they have 12 step programs for this yet? 'hello, my name is dan, and i am a cell phone addict' (yeah, i know. he'll probably leave me a not nice comment. he denies the problem. first sign of an addiction) they already claim talking and driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving. now it's an addiction. wait til they release the health studies of holding that thing so close to your head for so long...
