Way too long-winded of an article. Too much empirical data.

Adults are using smartphones too. I'm 60 and I'm using an iPhone to read and comment right now. I use my phone so much I can't keep it charged for a full day. My wife is just as bad. She wakes up in the middle of the night and reaches for her phone which is always right by the bed. Donald Trump uses his smartphone a lot too.

Wow. I'm also 60 years old and do not own a Iphone. Never have. I never sent a text,took a selfie,have no idea what Twitter or Snapchat is or does. When my kids come for a visit I tell them turn off those stupid smart phones and we'll talk.

I am 73 and have disliked any phone since I was a teen. I had rather be reading. I use my phone to send texts to my daughter, my grandson and granddaughter. My daughter runs our business and is in meetings a lot. It is easier on both of us to just text. That way she can read when she has a break. If I need to talk, I just tell them to call when they have time. When I get in the car, I turn my phone off. Calls can wait until I am not driving.

I’m 70 and don’t have any kind of cell phone - never have. So I cannot imagine the fascination with these phones. People sleep with them?

Well it would be a very boring world if everyone was like me.

I do, too. They should do a study on retirees. I have time to be on my phone a lot. I admit I’m hooked.
