In bed with them??? I knew that the iphone was at the center of our addiction to constant, sensory input, but if this is really true, I’m scared. When we spend so much of our lives living in the mind, we neglect our emotional and energetic bodies. I hope this study is way off. I’ve struggled with the impulse to keep picking up my iphone and playing with it. I keep it connected to the computer at night.

It’s the antenna which causes that, and only when active. Having an idle phone next to you is no more likely to give you cancer than sleeping with a stuffed animal.

I’d like to also request that the story be updated.

I’ve bought a Griffin Woogie for my kids so that they can use their iPod Touch 4th Gen and FaceTime me. I don’t use the built-in battery powered speakers. FaceTime works fine with phone inside, mics. pick up audio fine.

$20 – https://store.griffintechnology.com/woogie

PS – I have NO relation to Griffin, Apple, etc.. Just a Father who is a geek.

Have you thought how such a toy might be helpful for reaching autistic or traumatized children or kids in hospital?

To keep from waking my spouse I sleep with my iPhone under my Pillow so this could be a viable alternative. I do worry about the iPhone slipping out and falling to the floor…if this would prevent that then it might be worth 25$….
