An Addiction To Mobile Games
Sometimes, smartphones are not all they’re cracked up to be
Allow me to tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a boy whose best piece of communications technology for on the go was a flip phone. All seemed to go horridly for the boy, especially since he was so much into the newest trends of cellular technology. It didn’t help that he had to deal with a mobile plan for the whole family.
One day, this boy moved out of his parent's house, taking his flip phone with him. He cared little for the phone technology, but he did like the phone number he had. However, partway through his life away from his parents, he received his first smartphone… at the cost of his phone number.
To this day, he kept the new phone number but upgraded his cell phone a few times over the years. The first time he upgraded his cell phone, it was from a government-sponsored plan to a private company plan by Cricket Wireless. The next time, he updated his phone with the same plan, only getting a phone with better storage for the things he could do on it.
This is where things get tricky.
He started using his phone for more than just calling and texting people. The phone became a hub for playing Mobile Games when he had better things with his time. Finally, things became so…
