Not really. The upper picture shows addiction (in its medical meaning), the behaviour in the lower didn't show such symptoms.

You can judge that from a single picture? How?
Is everyone who uses the time in public transport to e.g. read news or mails necessarily addicted? And if yes, to what? If not, what exactly made it possible to see addiction in this case?

If one's a fixation, then both are.
If one's not, then both aren't.

This is an interpretation which I certainly did not mean. I was referring to a general difference between smart phones and newspapers, not to single incidents.

Everyday example: I regularly have to separate my tutoring student from her smart phone before we can begin. I never had a similar experience with newspapers back then.

lol I don't imagine "Don't read the paper and drive" warranted a campaign all in an effort to reduce vehicular deaths.

..., and "de-cimate" mis-use by the press, for annihilate, is one I absolutely abhor , thank you for pointing that out to me one last time.
