Carmen Osorio, expert in technology addiction: ‘It’s not a good idea to give children a smartphone; in any case, you let them borrow yours’

  • Q. Let’s make a distinction between cell phone and smartphone. Which one do you think is more appropriate?

    A. A non-smartphone, that is, a cell phone like the ones that today’s parents had when we were young and with which we made calls and sent text messages, was enough for us, and it did not cause addiction.

    Text messaging was absolutely addicting, and had the distinction of being one of the very first forms of always-on, instant-access bullying. Osorio seems blind to the detrimental implications of her own experience.

    DEANNA TROI'S CHOCOLATE OBSESSION

    If there's one thing that Counselor Troi knows, it's chocolate. And this is one of her favorite drinks in the galaxy. An empathic concoction of raspberry liqueur, Kahlua, Bailey's, and chocolate syrup.

    Here's the recipe for Raktajino:

    RAKTAJINO

    Klingon coffee. A frozen blend of mocha and cappuccino. An honorable drink to prepare any warrior for combat. Qapla!
