No kidding!

Switching it off or placing it face down just wont help you escape your fate.

Minding your business has just become harder as this new research seems to suggest. Having you phone around or nearby when you are doing something or discussing can mess with your brain memory, as you will struggle to concentrate.
According to a new research by the scientists at the University of Texas at Austin, our smartphones now become the good source of distraction. Its mere presence will cut back our memory power, whether or not we are using it or not. Scientists suggest the study may lead to better understanding of the risks of being continually connected and available.
The study suggests, having phones close means some of our memory power is inevitably expended as we attempt to not be distracted.

No doubts that our smartphone becomes more noticeable. When your phone is nearby, your conscious mind isn’t thinking about your smartphone, but that process of requiring yourself to not think about something uses up some of your limited cognitive resources. In other words, it is called as brain drain.
