Really? Smartphone addicts are starting to curb the habit. 

Last night, millions of Californians who sleep next to their mobile phone were woken up by an Amber Alert, While this article says I'm a horrible person for shutting off any future Amber alerts on my iPhone (I had no idea it was activated in the first place), consider this: the Amber Alert that woke California has not led to capture of the kidnapper. It also might be put to better use if it was activated only in the vicinity of where the child abduction has occurred. Waking people 500 miles away was pretty pointless and has only resulted in a people calling each other names on message boards all day.

People now spend 37% of online time on mobile devices - smartphones and tablets.

American psychos and their online footprints, blocking your friends' annoying baby photos, texting for dollars, YouTube saves the Olympics, mobile shopping habits and what is the Internet? That's what people are talking about online this week. Come join the conversation.

More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call. Sixty-seven percent said they have read a text, and 39 percent have surfed the Web.
