Overcoming smart phone addiction

[Kilgore]

We’ve all been there: fiddling with your smartphone because it’s there, or reaching for it when you hear a text message notification. Austrian designer Klemens Schillinger created the Substitute Phone as a way to help smartphone addicts cope in its absence.

3. If you don't want to use a smart phone, don't.

Also, don't use the computer you use to post articles about smartphone addiction.

7. I don't have that problem with my flip phone.

I look at it maybe twice a week, when it rings. I talk for a few minutes then hang up and put it back in my pocket till the next time it rings a few days later. I don't text. So, no, I don't fiddle with my phone. What a monumental waste of time that would be!
