A few of you get a bit too worked up. Better up the daily meds. Mike is just expressing his opinion as he sees things. If you don't like Mike or his army of 'Techdirt Lemming Punks' maybe you should find another news blog to read.
I believe that is exactly the point that Mike is trying to make. It is not an addiction and the first thing a parent should try to do is to stop enabling the behavior by removing the phone. If, in fact it is later found to be an actual addiction then the parents would have done the right thing by removing the object of the addiction.
Um, setting or preferences anyone? I am a software developer for a company that makes custom software for the advertising and cable industries and all of us developers use IM to stay connected. I set my status to busy/away when I don't want bothered and I turn the sound settings off. You can also turn off the pop-up option on most IMs.
