Are teens the only ones addicted to the phone?

Teenagers have always been the ones that are stereotyped to be the only people that are addicted to their handphones. It is true that most of us rely on our phones a lot, is it true that we are the only ones that are addicted to our phones?
Recently I read in the news about an old lady. She was interview about her 'relationship' with her phone. What she said shocked me, she said "My phone is more important than my wallet." Usually aunties like this old lady spend most of her time shopping in the market or the shopping mall, logically her wallet would be the most important thing to her. However she said that her phone is more important than her
wallet therefore from this we can see that her addiction to her phone is much worse than most of us. When asked what would she do if she left her phone behind when she went out to somewhere far away and had already reached the destination. She answered that she would immediately go back to retrieve her phone. It seems like she cannot live without her phone.
Teenagers are not the only ones addicted to the phone, we are just more tech savy than other age groups.
