Some People Would Rather Starve Than Give up Their Cell Phones
The invention of the cell phone was one of the best inventions of all time.
I don't know where I would be without mine. I use it to stay in communication with friends and family, I use it to play games, I use the Google search on it all the time to get answers to questions and directions, and I even use the flashlight app on my phone more than I use a real flashlight.
You can't beat the convenience of a smartphone. You can always call for help when you need to and you always have a camera and video ready when you need those abilities as well.
Now the question is, what would you give up to keep your cell phone? Would you give up eating? According to Geek.com, there was a new survey that was conducted at the University of Buffalo and they found that today's college students would rather starve than live without their cell phones.
According to Geek.com, they conducted the research by giving the students the option of a snack or use of their phone after taking a very long boring test. The test lasted several hours. The majority of the kids chose their phone.
I would hope that if they had to make the choice between starving to death and using their phone, they would choose to eat. But some may be so addicted that they would rather not live if it meant living without their phone.
What would your choice have been?
