Susan sat attempting to complete her homework.

*buzz*. It was a notification from Instagram. She checked it and then started back with her work.

*buzz*…a Snapchat notification. Again, she checked it, then got back to work.

After 10 more minutes, she had checked her phone three more times because of notifications.

“I am never going to be able to get this done,” she thought to herself. She put her phone downstairs and finally finished.
