This is a tremendous article! Such an important topic. However, there is a paradox here: most people addicted to their smart phone, are used to quick reads, and this is very, very long and somewhat repetitious. This doesn't in any manner limit its critical importance. Everything in this very informative article is completely true. But I think, to attract the addictive smart phone users, it needs to be shorter. . . . I had a smart phone about 9 years ago, but I had horrible headaches right away, and found that the myopia was a potential threat. I am very happy with my 1999 burner, and only use it for practical, no-more than 1 minute calls. But everyone around me is addicted to their smart phone. What is sad, is that most people know it, but just can't find the right moment to step away. It definitely requires a detox state of mind. What we need is a campaign to help people. . . Thank you, for allowing me to comment.
