It’s not exactly a secret: pretty much all of us are addicted to our smartphones and other internet-connected devices.

Saturday Night Live poked fun at our screen addiction this weekend with a parody commercial for an app that sends realtime notifications about “what’s in front of your face” and the Simpsons got in on the action with their own mock social networking app, SpringFace.
