I HEARD A VERY GOOD EXPLANATION ABOUT THE MOBILE PHONE, AND IT IS NOT THE IPHONE OR INTERNET THAT IS THE CURSE TO YIDISKITE.
IT IS THE ACTUAL OBSESSION TO THE PHONE EVEN THE KOSHER PHONE, WE CAN NOT LIVE WITH OUT IT.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE, MEN AND WOMEN, LADIES AND BOYS, WHO WALK AROUND CONSTANTLY IN THE STREETS AND AT HOME WITH A PHONE PINED TO THERE EARS CONSTANTLY, WHEN IT COMES SHABBOS, THEY CAN NOT JUST DROP THERE OBSESSION WITH THE PHONE AND KEEP SHABBOS PROPERLY.
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE ANSWER THE PHONE IN MIDDLE OF DAVENING OR LEARNING IN KOLLEL, THEY HAVE THE PHONE LYING ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF THEM, OR WALKING IN THE STREET HOLDING IT IN THEIR HANDS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CALL.
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW DO THESE PEOPLE CONTROL THEMSELVES ON OUR HOLY SHABBOS IN THE TOILET OR IN A ROOM WERE NO ONE CAN SEE THEM.
I WAS LISTENING TO A PHONE INN PROGRAM ON THE RADIO, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE ADDICTION TO DAY, TO THE MOBILE PHONE THEY LOOK AT IT EVERY FEW MINUTES, IS THERE A MESSAGE, THEY WERE SAYING IT IS LIKE GOING TO THE FRONT DOOR EVERY FIVE MINUTES TO SEE IF SOMEONE IS THERE.
HE SAID THE PEOPLE ARE SO ADDICTED, IT IS LIKE DRUGS THEY WALK IN THE STREETS AND THEY DO NOT SEE ANY ONE, RIDE THERE BIKES, AND DRIVE THERE CARS, PEOPLE ARE GOING MAD WITH THERE PHONES.

I think for these phone obsessed people their biggest nightmare and nisoyon is when yomtov falls thu-fri / sun-mon,so then nebech for three whole days (72 hrs) they can't use their phones.It's almost a "gezeiroh sheheim loi yechoilim laamoid boh".Probably the first thing they looked at when they recieved their new calendars was to see when yomim toivim fall this year.

I AM PLEASED THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE POINT.
A PERSON MUST NEVER BE COME OBSESSED OR ADDICTED TO ANYTHING.
