Dumping your smartphone is a major step in the right direction. No one ever takes the time to be truly present and witness the world around them with a smartphone in their hand. Immediately we default to checking Twitter, Facebook, texting, emailing, surfing, etc. instead of making small talk with the person standing next to us in line. This was my primary reason for reverting back to a Blackberry from an iPhone. I needed a messaging device and nothing more. (Yes messaging is still a vice, but it's infinitely times better than playing a Angry Birds on your iPhone.)
