I don't like smartphones for precisely this reason, now you are supposed to always be connected and be ready to take action at any moments notice, this is why I dont have a smartphone and my boss hates me for it.
well let's be real, smart phones have helped people out in a lot of ways. but as we all know technology has its negative and positive effects. it all would depend now in the person using it. for me, I tend to practice restraint of using it if its not really important or when i'm with other people.
It's enough just to say what you wanted and stopped using the smartphone. Large corporations have already found how to entice and entice people to lose interest in more global problems. Smartphones are exactly the case when they succeeded.
