Eh less hypnosis and more stupid people that don't know when to sit down or put their phones/games down.
I have been completely enthralled in books before. You know what I do to avoid falling off a platform while reading them? I sit down.

It's also effecting education in the classroom. Students are preoccupied texting their friends during classroom instruction. The teacher is in a losing battle between hand held electronics and getting students to focus on the material for the day. Although there are school rules against using cell phones and IPOD's in the classroom, students chronically try to operate their cell phones and IPOD's from under their desks and away from the instructor's angle of sight. It's so rampant, administrators are overwhelmed and can't get it under control.edit on 5-2-2011 by WeRpeons because: (no reason given)edit on 5-2-2011 by WeRpeons because: (no reason given)
