Reading tweets from the trending att hashtag is alarming. We are so fricked if one day it really does go out for good.


This is an inevitability at some point. I don’t know about a lot of you, but I think it really is easy to kick this phone habit. There have been numerous times where I’ve been doing things and have completely forgot that I hadn’t checked my phone.

Then there were times where I was bored and just went and found something else to do. It takes a little time to get back into not having one or worried about it, but I think most everyone is probably like that.

When my kids lose their privileges, it doesn’t take them long to figure something else out and not even worry about their device.

Keep in mind, we have entire generations of people who don't know how to go from point A to point B without their phone.

Like it or not, access to the internet has become a necessity for humanity. Sure, you can leave your phone in the truck for a weekend camping trip (assuming you know your route), but that is entirely different than living without GPS, access to banking, work email, etc...

90% of my income is derived from customers texting me orders. If I forget to check my phone, then they will find a new supplier. So, your brilliant solution doesn't work for me.

It is worrisome and I'm not worried about the phone habit you speak of. I'm more worried about actual communication, phone calls and text messages with my family.
