I would love to go back to a time before smartphones. I have not used one for about a year and my life, my confidence and my relationships have changed so dramatically. Personally I think they are evil for a large number of reasons, but I also see hypocrisy there in the fact that I am using a laptop and usually I would not use a site like this also even though I don't see this particular site as a bad thing. I am just on crutches for the next 3 weeks so I have a lot of time indoors. If anyone has any thoughts on smartphones then feel free to share. Doesn't have to be a debate or anything and I can see it from other perspectives because I was addicted to my smartphone in the past. I would love to meet or speak to another young person that doesn't have a smartphone but I have not yet.
