That is your loss. You're blaming the tool instead of the people.
And then you renounce said tool, when it could be used (as the tool it is) to improve your life and your work. To create greater things.
Before the smartphones, people were made dumb by the TV. And before that, by the radio, and before that it was something else, and something else.
People that want to passively waste their time could always do that, and will keep doing.

All a smart phone does is keep people bound to their online lives in an unhealthy way -- constantly beeping at you, notifying you of pointless shit, and spying on you. No thanks. I don't own any phone, but if I did it would be a dumb phone with week-long battery life.
