I just bought a LTE LG Watch (should be in tomorrow) just so I could leave my phone behind exactly due to this kind of effect. I have come to the realization that a huge junk of the time I and virtual everyone around me spends on our phones is wasteful and unproductive. Looking up from my phone around a bar and seeing so many tables full of people staring at their phones kind of makes me nostalgic for the dumb phone era. I am hoping that the smartwatch will be a good compromise between staying connected and not encouraging my own bad habits.
- DonaldPShimoda 9y agoThere's a quote in a book that I like that says: "In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice." I think about that a lot when I notice things like what you mention, where everybody is distracted and cell phones are ruling our lives.
