I don't have a smartphone. I intentionally just have a little "dumbphone" that I only use for calls and texts (and clock, occasional alarm and calculator). I know that if I were to get a smartphone, I would have to face the temptation of checking it all the time and would probably give my children (ages 7, 5 and 3) less attention. Not something I want. My laptop draws enough of my attention as is. GPS would sure be handy, but I generally do fine with printing directions ahead of time (yes, on actual paper....gasp!). I'm glad you had this opportunity to learn how dependent you are on your smartphone. Good to get insight into yourself.

LOL, I am the same. Only I do use the internet on it when I am out and about, usually reading the news or checking cryptocurrency related things like when to buy or sell on Bittrex.
I get a bit embarrassed if I feel like I am being a smartphone zombie.
