I think people spend way too much time on their mobiles

I try to limit my time spent on my mobile to a minimum. Just use it when I really need it. (texting, looking up locations, calling someone etc.)

I try to as well, but it's hard not too. I tend to miss a lot of things going on in the world when I'm not on my phone.

@Emanuelle The news, friends and family, sports, comic stuff, video games and things like that.

@Coolkid77 So you are not really trying it seems. News, friends and sports combined gives 30min in a day roughly.
Every minute more has no added value and is a waste of time. My oppinion

@Emanuelle I'm trying. I don't use it at work that much. I catch up with all my local news and National news which takes more than 30min for me. Some of it is added value to me, but most probably is not. I can agree on that.

Same. I have no problem doing without, since I lived without much technology for much of my life.
I don't use ny phone much as a phone but I use it a LOT as a computer, for writing, and gaming.

I think it’s really difficult to keep off gadgets bc most things revolve around it

Every year I spend the weekend nearest to Christmas with a random collection of 'friends'in Scotland. Mobiles are banned, everyone agrees on how much better it is. Also on Monday heading to the laundrettes 4 people, 4 fks walked into me because they were on thier phones. Lucky I'm a big guy they bounced off, i wasnt moving though I'd seen em. Lol the looks I got? Like it was my fault!

@MartinTheFirst working. Have to stare at it anyways
As long as people are not endangering themselves or others (like not paying attention to surroundings, using the phone while driving, etc.) and are paying their bills, their amount of phone use is not really anyone else’s business. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard Yes, but one can subjectively say they wish people didn't use their phones as much! Their opinion is as important as those enslaved to their phones.
@SW-User I didn’t say it wasn’t. Aren’t I allowed to express my opinion as well ?
SW-User
@bijouxbroussard Yes! I think in terms this would be just counterpoints.
