Cell phones; the cause of our neurotic slot machine mentality

Checking your cell phone repeatedly heightens your anxiety level. You go to the cell phone to 'check'

if you are 'liked' by email/message/tweet et al.  So you pull the slot machine handle (cell phone) and  hope that your existence will be validated.  Thank you Silicon Valley

In  a recent study the goal was to see if addictive and self-destructive behaviors with phones and the Internet related to mental health.

People (the majority)  who self-described as having really addictive style behaviors toward the Internet and cellphones scored much higher on depression and anxiety scales

So are we being manipulated into neurotic behaviour by what some call our Orwellian minder, Silicon Valley.

What is the end aim of Silicon Valley apart from making heaps of money. Do these billionaires have a social conscience?

Recently these moguls has been up in arms about Trump putting a stop on foreign workers

but why does 'Silly Con Vally' not put some of their billions in the education of the indigenous US

educational system instead of infantalising us all with their 'tweets'
