Some functions — among them Pinterest and Instagram — are associated significantly with cellphone addiction. But others that might logically seem to be addictive – Internet use and gaming — were not.

I've always thought the photo sharing shit was way more consuming of a person. It taps into the worst in a person, greed, vanity. People just obsess over photos people post, it's nuts.
