- Concentration and problem solving, cognitive capacity and fluid intelligence affected by proximity to phone (gets worse as phone is nearer and better as phone is far away and inaccessible, whether phone is in sight or out of sight)

- When phone is in hand low interpersonal closeness and trust, empathy and understanding
- Delusions of intelligence when actually they know less
- Give the mind more room to think
