I'm always on...
As soon as I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is turn the alarm clock off, on my iPhone. I make sure it has one hundred percent charge and I take it off the charger. I check Facebook, text the important people, and make sure my Tap Zoo is still up and running. My iPhone always leaves my apps open for me so that I can look at them whenever I like. If I go out to a place I like, sometimes I post my location to Facebook. The point is that I am almost always, "On the Grid." You can reach me almost anytime of the day because my phone is never turned off. Most people share the same opinion that if they do not have their cell phone in their pocket/purse, they are lost to the world. They check it literally every two minutes to see if anything has changed in the world they know. It's like a drug that has no clinically tested or proven side effects. For American society this is a serious addiction with no cure and majority does not seem to want to do anything about it. I personally do not know anyone that does not have at least one cell phone, no less a smartphone. Smartphones, a dangerous tool in the hands of naive Americans, with no clue about what a technology addiction even is. With over ten thousand deaths a year do to cell phone use, such as texting and driving, texting and walking, texting and etc. My new years resolution was to use my cell phone less, and that is the only cure for a technology addiction.

So your addiction is not cured yet because you still check ur cell phone every 2 minutes
ReplyDeleteSo, are you breaking the habit? It would drive you crazy, I'm sure, but I make it a point to leave the phone in the car if I go to dinner. That could be a good start, perhaps.
ReplyDeletewell I try not to check it all the time, but I don't like to leave on at dinner, or maybe I just won't answer during dinner.
