To maintain this sense of importance we need to constantly check these services and follow our progress on them, often with the use of mobile technology. We are addicted.

Regardless of the importance of the messages , people are reading them, and this is why the sender continues to write them.

With the overuse of these media for meaningless things, the line is blurred between information that is actually important and information that is completely insignificant.

Texting while driving obviously takes our focus away from the road. It causes a large number of accidents.

Andrew Clark in his article argues,(somewhat sarcastically) that it is in fact our view that we are all really important that causes us to continually check our cell phone even when risking our lives to do it.

This is a very bad habit, but if we are expecting to stay constantly in touch and connected with the world around us, how else would we do this while driving?

These devices are also dangerous to us in less obvious ways.

As discussed in an article by Blake Ellis, smartphones are one of the most “dangerous” possessions we own. If a phone is stolen, the thief has easy access to the majority of a person’s social life, as well as other important information such as bank account numbers.

With mobile banking use expected to increase by 55% in the next year, according to the Tower Group, this has become a very serious problem. The door is open for an entirely new type of bank robbery.

As discussed in the article By: Glenn Harlan Reynolds, the police already have devices they can use to extract data such as web history, SIM data and much more. Such a device is quite powerful and would be disturbing if used in the wrong way.Photo: Chad Case, flickr

This is a great example of how these devices make this personal information more public than ever before.

Mobile media has made our lives much easier, but in doing so it has supplied us with another drug to which we have become addicted. And like most addictive drugs, our overuse of it can have dangerous side effects.
