I'm writing this from an old tablet. I gave up my smart phone for a dumb phone a while back. Its actually quite nice, because with the exception of making phone calls and sending texts, all I ever used the smart phone for was browsing the internet when I wasn't home. Now when I'm out and about, I'm much more in the present and I honestly feel like it has positively affected my life. That said though, I'm still a bit of an internet junkie. I read a lot of news articles, look up recipes and crafts, and research various things I might want to buy for myself down the road. When I'm home, my tablet is rarely out of reach. So I wouldn't say giving up my smart phone has cured me of my internet addiction, but it has given me a bit more control.
