You are NOT alone. I hate my smartphone. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I've realized that using smartphones and social media for the past eleven years (i'm 31) has done nothing but add a serious amount of stress to my life. Text messaging really messes with my brain and makes me super anxious. The slow, short, impersonal never ending conversations. Not being able to feel/hear the tone etc. It's all so bizarre and unnatural. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who can't stand them.The teeny tiny space jammed crammed with everything/anything in the universe - pop-ups - distractions drives me into a sort of psychotic myopia. I need large lengthy space, simplicity, clarity. These toys are cold hard impersonal, and the constant TOUCHING - I prefer buttons, knobs, levers. I wanna punch this thing sometimes.
When we have our weekend from work, without the smartphone it is a good weekend from work. We read a book, do something we enjoy doing. We chill out on barbecue and beer and forget work.You are NOT alone. I hate my smartphone. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

The thing is you can't say I want social media without the intrusion it comes with. You can, if you leave your cellphone at home, and use it at night. But what if someone calls you? If you want to be connected, you're often left without a choice. Then you need to have a strong will to disregard the distractions. It depends on the person, but apps intentionally take advantage of our weaknesses, and try to get us addicted.Cell phones have changed the world, it is one of the best inventions of all time, the entire worlds information is easily accessible and in your pocket everywhere you go. If u hate social media and texting then dont do it? I'm a little confused on all the hate.

I mean I guess, I dont get the point of what u are saying though, I get it that it can be addicting, so just disable it or something or turn on airplane mode or something. It seems like an easy solution to the problem if it is so bad. Ur not left without a choice lol.
The choice to turn off airplane mode remains. Basically you are arguing from the stand-point of a non-addicted person. For a person that‘s addicted to their phone they can‘t just turn off the internet and go about their day so easily, there will a very strong pull to use it.
Okay so I guess there's no solution to the problem and the only thing to do is complain about how bad it is, ok noted, I'll see myself out then.
With just 3 computers
u could turn off the wifi and not use wireless mouse/keyboard3 laptops and one is broken so mine and my gf's one.
The US government doesn't need to obfuscate anything, their citizens do so for them.It's surprising more censorship hasn't already happened in the US.
True, but the problem is that smartphones allow people to engage online at all times--as opposed to only when they're sitting down at a PC or carrying a laptop. This kills IRL culture, and it also kills the internet culture by introducing hastily produced content/messages.Most people use a smartphone for mostly to use with Facebook and such type of apps which could also be on a PC.
