Long-time lurker of HN. Finally made an account just to chime in on this. Most people who disagree with people using "dumbphones" or not having a phone at all seem to say it is entirely an issue with the person's self control. Do we completely blame people for getting addicted to caffeine or cigarettes? No, at least I would not think so. We all understand that those two things are addictive in nature. Why would a smartphone with all the fancy UX, apps, and ease-of-access be different? If a smartphone is geared to be exploit one's attention span and is just as addictive then why put all the blame on people's lack of self control? Sometimes it is easier to go cold turkey much like people do with quitting caffeine and cigarettes.
