Should Addictive Tech Come With a Health Warning?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the nanny-state dept.

holy_calamity writes "Academics researching how technology addiction affects businesses and employees say 'habit-forming' gadgets like Blackberries should be dispensed along with warnings about the effect they can have on your life. 'We don't want to be in a situation in a few years similar to that with fast food or tobacco today. We need to pay attention to how people react to potentially habit-forming technologies.'"

    How many thousands have to die before you realize that guns kill people?

    >We could just decide that freedom was more important than safety.

    and when the die in some accident then the kids they leave behind need to be raised by the state. WHOOPS

    or when they die and manage to kill their kids because car seats are part of the nanny state. WHOOPS.

    or when they dont have insurance and steal healthcare for their injuries. WHOOPS.

    blah blah, nanny state. Maybe you should honestly think about growing up.
