After reading the section “ ‘Teenage Zombies’ consumed by phones,” I felt a connection to this section. I am 14 years old and I am a “teenage zombie.” Nearly 80% of teens in the new survey said they checked their phones hourly, and 72% said they felt the need to immediately respond to texts and social networking messages. I can relate to this poll because I always respond immediately to texts. If I don’t, I get a weird feeling that I missed out on something. Hearing the buzz of my phone completely destroys my train of thought. It catches my attention and I immediately drop everything that I’m working on and respond to my texts. However, I now put my phone on silent to keep the buzzing off so I can focus on my school work.
