1. Some wise-ass psychologist will create a "disorder" or "condition" excusing the behavior. It will be called something like: Social Media Compulsive Disorder (SMeCDi), Smartphone Addiction Syndrome (SAS), or something similar.
2. Dr Drew Pinsky will add this disorder to his offered therapies in his clinics. Reality therapy cable shows to follow.
3. Phone companies will get sued for "making it too easy to take selfies" and "not warning me about spending too much time on my smartphone". Smartphones will now need to get disclaimers and warnings inscribed on them.
4. Imperial apologist Thomas Friedman's new book on why the world is now "flatter" than ever will drone on about how great smartphones are, and how much we need them.
And the beat goes on....

Too late, it has happened

An American psychologist believes so. In fact, he’s even introduced a new term to describe such an addiction. FAD, or Facebook Addiction Disorder, is a condition that is defined by hours spent on Facebook, so much time in fact that the healthy balance of the individual’s life is affected. It has been said that approximately 350 million people are suffering from the disorder that is detected through a simple set of six-criteria. People who are victims of the condition must have at least 2-3 of the following criteria during a 6-8 month time period.
