This creates a major problem not only at their educational facility, workplace, and home. Some have become addicted to their cell phones they either send or receive texts all day this is known as Phantom Pocket Vibration Syndrome. The good thing about the smart devices is that because everyone is on their cell there is not much bulling at school, but now comes a different type of bulling call cyberbullying, which is just as bad or even worse.
