Is Your Smartphone Making You Fat?

Too much use of your smartphone can make you lead a sedentary life and thus make you less fit.  Smartphones make you text more, watch tv, surf the internet.  Thus students do not exercise and even are less fit<or the other way around?  less fit people use cellphone more often).  This is according to Jacob Berkeley of Kent State University

Smartphones significantly change the behavior of people but are treated lightly being a novelty.

Nancy Copperman, director public health initiatives at NY suggests that we should look at this like we look at industrial revolution, ie how technology affect our lives.
