The evils of cell phone & video games.

Last week, we had the talk about the evils of cell phones, and video games. the talk basically consisted of how proud he was of himself, that nobody can reliably get a hold of him on his cell phone, and how little he checks is own cell phone. He doesn't often check his cell phone, but when he does it's for righteous reasons, such as using LDS tools, and pulling up the scriptures 
According to him, I forget the exact number, but a person checks his phone over 300 times a day, he however had only checked his cell phone 13 times up to that point in time. (well ain't you a saint!)
He then proceeded to say how disappointed he was that video games, and cell phones have not been mentioned more in general conference. and was appalled when he overheard 2 teenagers that had never met before, bonding and talking about some evil video game they both enjoyed. He never explained why cell phones, and video games are evil, but from his condescending tone, it was quite obvious they were the tools of the devil, unless you use it for righteous reasons, like he does of course!
while I agree that cell phones, and video games can become a distraction, perhaps even an addiction if allowed to go too far, they are a part of society, and we need to learn and teach our children how to use them properly, without going overboard. I just don't think that getting up on a soap box and telling everybody how little he uses the tools of the devil is going to help anybody much.
Anyway my rant for the day, thanks for reading.
