I watched a show about people addicted to the internet. One woman was married and had a kid and was glued to her phone all day long. It was so bad it was causing problems with the family. Her husband asked her to put the phone down for 1 hour and watch a TV show with him. She did then afterward she was pissed because she missed so much on Facebook. The things she missed was like a friend checking into a restaurant on Four Square and the posting a picture of their food. She also missed a couple of friends who were talking about what they were watching on TV that night. It was sad that she would rather read this mundane, banal shit than spend time with her kid.

Eventually her husband gave her the ultimatum and she chose her phone over he and their kid.
