the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teenager who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. jim williams, an industrial sociologist based in massachusetts, notes that cellphone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. he points to a study by duke university researchers that found one quarter of americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. despite the growing use of phones, email and instant messaging, in other words, williams says studies show that we dont have as many friends as our parents. “just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the internet and cellphones have produced fewer friends，” he says.if the cellphone has truly had these effects, its because it has become very widespread. consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cellphones in use. today, something like 300 million americans carry them. they far outnumber wired phones in the united states.20from the first two paragraphs, we can know_acellphones have become as addictive as cigarettesbcellphone addiction is good for building personal relationshipscpeople are longing to have their own cellphonesdcellphones are the same as cigarettes 21cellphone addiction has cau
