You're reading this on your phone, aren't you? There's our confirmation. LOL

Massachusetts is tech-obsessed and a new study from Simple Texting proves it. They analyzed each state's Google Trends search data from the past 12 months to figure out which states are more "tech-obsessed" than others.

If you're like me and you have 2 Roombas - one for each floor - to do the cleaning grunt work for you, we are part of the tech-obsessed culture that put Massachusetts so far up this chart. If you still have a rotary phone and an actual "black book," you are not and you probably just moved here from Montana. Welcome to Massachusetts. Auto-correct will teach you the proper way to spell the state name eventually. Oh wait...

Here are the Top 10 Most Tech-Obsessed states in the United States. I'm typing this article on a computer while fact-checking on my cell phone and petting my robot dog from Boston Dynamics. Let's gooooo!
