Seven out of 100 school kids in Seoul are addicted to smartphones, a survey suggests. The affliction manifests itself by anxiety if the gadgets are not to hand, and by anger and resistance if their use is banned.
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education on Monday said it surveyed 268,183 school kids in Seoul in March and found that 17,448 or 7 percent had trouble leading a normal life due to excessive use of smartphones.
The problem is most severe among high-schoolers.
