While I'm driving on the freeway, my spouse sometimes counts to see how many other drivers are on their phone. It's crazy what a large fraction of people (probably about 25%, I'd agree) are splitting their attention when moving at 75mph. Like what are so many people doing on their phone while driving? Surely they can't all be texting someone that often...?


Push notifications. Phone goes ping, brain must have tiny chemical boost rewarded upon consuming whatever came in.
