Mobile phone users 'stressed out'

[Merika]

People are becoming addicted to mobile phones, causing them to become stressed and irritable, psychologists say.

Dr David Sheffield, of the University of Staffordshire, found problem behaviour linked to using a mobile in 16% of 106 users who were studied.

In a separate study, to be presented at a conference in Essex later, he found blood pressure was lower in those who had given up using mobile phones.

But operators said mobile phones should be seen as a "liberating" tool. (BBC)

i never use a cell phone. I'm lucky if I answer the land-line phone I have at home. I think most phone calls are annoying since most of mine result in having to figure out where one of th e kids are or giving someone a mom-taxi ride.
