A Day in the Life of a Tennis Racket

  A Day in the Life of a Tennis Racket           I am a blue and yellow tennis racket. My owner is Javonte King. He is an excellent owner. He treats me well. Javonte plays with me often at a tennis court.           Last Saturday was the big day. Javonte and I went to a tennis tournament together. We would be playing against Dominic King and Jakai. Dominic and Jakai were fantastic. I was feeling excited to play.           Javonte threw the ball into the air and smashed the ball across the court. I felt awesome and proud of Javonte. At first, we were winning, but then Javonte hit the ball into the net. Tears filled his eyes.           I knew we might lose the match and I did not want that. The ball bounced off of the net. I powerfully lifted Javonte's hand and slammed the ball to Dominic's side of the court. I started to feel better as the points went up.           We won the match! It was a long day but I was the happiest racket ever!

Being glued to your smartphone could be causing you to make impulsive decisions and crave immediate gratification.  In fact, people who spend more time on their phones are more likely to reject large, delayed rewards in favor of smaller, immediate rewards.  Research has long shown that a preference for smaller, immediate rewards -- what researchers call delay discounting -- is an indicator for negative behaviors, such as drug addiction, excessive gambling, and alcohol abuse.  People with low self-control tended to use their smartphone more. The study also found that a preference for immediate rewards was linked to heavier use of two types of apps: social media and gaming. "Both types of apps offer quick gratification in the form of likes or entertaining co
