It’s no longer hyperbole to refer to our relationships with our smartphones as addictive. For many of us, it’s the first thing we check in the morning and the last thing we interact with at night. Our cellphones are our friends, teachers, and even lifelines, and sometimes it seems our dependency on these devices will only keep growing.
Though I myself is somewhat addict to my smartphone but it is bad for me for sure. But can't help it.:P
I would admit that I'm on my smartphone first thing in the morning, but as long as I'm using my time well with it, that's fine by me. I use it as my pedometer too when I jog, so that's something healthy.
There are many things that we do on our smartphones and we can't think of our lives without it now. So that is what we call as addiction for sure.
I think i'm the only person on the planet that isn't addicted to smartphones. Kind of ironic considering i'm a total tech head, but to me phones are for making phone calls and that is about it. I rarely touch it except to make a call or plug it in to charge.
Still using an old Samsung Ativ S (Basically a Galaxy S3 running Win 8), planning on getting an Xperia Z6 when it releases. Even then i doubt my usage habits will change much. Mostly only upgrading for the camera and FM tuner.
