Smart phone addiction...is there a solution?

Sell it  

Thank me later.

No phone no addiction.

The problem is that if people sell their phones, they will realize what stupid ass boring pieces of shit they really are and how nobody wants to talk to anyone anymore, and even if they want to, they will quickly realize that their social skills have completely and totally deteriorated.

How would you know? You don't have any social skills. Must have been practicing in front of a mirror.

Besides, cellphone money might pay for their own bedroom so they can practice social skills.

I practice good social skills by avoiding most people most of the time because people are a bunch of poo munchers.

One important note – the number of smartphone tattoos has skyrocketed in recent years. Is this also a sign of addiction?

Some of the tattoos are really cool… my girlfriend’s cousin has a bunch of barefoot devil girls inked on his neck and they all have phones.

I think it’s almost impossible to completely avoid smartphones today. Life moves too fast, and for many of us they’re essential for work, banking, navigation, communication, and pretty much everything else.

The key is balance.

I actually try to have a “no gadgets” day once in a while, usually on a weekend. I go hiking or spend a day in the forest without checking my phone. The first few hours can honestly feel like withdrawal, but after that you start noticing how much calmer your mind becomes.

Um. You are clearly not doing anything important with you stupid smartphone.
