Don’t tune out your kids when you turn on your phone

When crazed LSD advocate Timothy Leary said, “Turn on, tune in, drop out,” he never dreamed that 50 years later those words would apply perfectly to our obsession with cellphones, HDTV and other digital devices. But 1.4 billion smartphones later, it’s clear that techno-intensity is making people drop out – of conversations, relationships and their own lives.

"Your leg may be broken, but my thumbs are stuck on this phone!"
