I struggle with this as an adult, I can't imagine how hard it is for kids to fight the addiction.

- the_only_law 5y agoI didn’t have access to a smartphone growing up, although they were widespread by the time I was a teenager. I ofc have had one as an adult , and while I don’t feel like I’ve become dumber (mostly thanks to aggregating experience), I’m almost certain my ability to do many things, including learn has been significantly throttled.
- giardini 5y agoI still don't carry a smartphone. If I really need a smartphone (and I rarely do) one is always nearby! [Just look for the unresponsive guy/gal standing still in the middle of the parking lot, or traffic, or ...]. But I help my friends and wife with them all the time! After several decades of IT and being on-call 24x7 with one or more devices, most interfaces are easy to decipher. You're likely far better off because you were not brought up in a smartphone environment.
