...all the time.

But is our desire for
 constant mobile
   connection...




                        Image Source: kamshots, flickr, cc
...negatively impacting
     the real world?

Recent studies show that using any device with a screen
        before sleep negatively affects the user.

“Looking at a computer screen an hour before bedtime can
       disrupt the release of a hormone called melatonin.”

“Teenagers who excessively use their cell phone are
more prone to disrupted sleep, restlessness, stress and
                                              fatigue...”
                                     -ScienceDaily.com

Cell phone use has
also affected the
bee population of
the world, leading
to pollination
problems.

A limited study at Landau University has found that bees
refuse to return to their hives when mobile phones are
placed nearby. Albert Einstein once said that if the bees
disappeared, "man would have only four years of life left".
                                      -theIndependent.co.uk




                                         Image Source: blathlean, flickr, cc
Could the constant use of Facebook
                                         cause our real-world relationships to
                                                                     fracture?

Recent studies have tied the use of
Facebook to stress and jealousy of
relationships.
