+Believe it or not, you will be OK if you don't use your "smart"-phone
|
|
|
+to look up everything the minute you think of it, if you don't have it
|
|
|
+by your bed at night and you don't turn it on for a few hours. You
|
|
|
+might even regain a less-addicted, more thoughtful "smart"-you.

|
+For the past few days I've been going "Cold Turkey" on using the "smart"
|
|
|
+phone as part of my morning routine: checking news, listening to podcasts,
|
|
|
+checking email, looking up things I'm curious about, etc.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It feels like I'm getting my own mind back.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I have spasms of "I have to look this up", but I really don't need
|
|
|
+to. They quickly pass, and I'm OK without knowing why the Crickets
|
|
|
+were not with Buddy Holly when his plane went down.

|
|
|
+Sometimes you want to maintain control of your own stream-of-consciousness.
|
|
|
+Sure, it might be free association of ideas, knowledge and experiences
|
|
|
+that are already bouncing around in your skull. But they are YOUR thoughts.
|
|
|
+Not some advertising-induced, attention grabbing graphic-heavy distractions
|
|
|
+that some web-designer or marketing person decided you needed to see
|
|
|
+to drive "engagement" with whatever their schtick is.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It's OK not to know. Get your own mind back. Break your addition to
|
|
|
+the smart phone, for at least part of the day.
