PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) – A new Scientific American study finds that cell phones can hurt interpersonal relationships just by being in the room!

KDKA-AM’s Larry and John talk to Leigh Cunningham, an MBA and author of “Being Anti-Social,” about how much of a distraction cell phones are and how they’re ruining our relationships.

Leigh even goes so far that 75 percent of phone users might even be addicted to their phones!
