Those that are into online business are usually addicted to their smartphone or system, but its a productive addiction cause it brings in some cash.

Phone addicts usually suffer from 'Low Battery Frustration Syndrome' and are the first to [rush and] plug their phone when 'light' is restored. They can't bear to see their phone 'die'
