The full lesson on 'cell phone addict' is here: http://goo.gl/PE9ycQ

Ever almost run into a zombie-like pedestrian staring into their phone on the sidewalk? Have you nearly been run over by someone driving under the influence of their cell phone? Been on a date in which the person across from you never looked up from their palm?  You can call these people “手机控 (shǒujīkòng).”

“手机(shǒujī)” = “mobile phone” and 
“控(kòng)” = “an enthusiast” or an “extreme passion” for something

Of course you must know at least a few of these! You can tell them:

Nǐ yòu zài wán shǒujī? Nǐ zhēn shì gè shǒujīkòng!
你  又   在  玩   手机？ 你  真     是  个 手机控！
You’re on your phone again? You’re such a phone addict!

There is a lot more Chinese related to being a phone addict. You can learn it in the full lesson, take a quiz and test your knowledge!
