It's actually quite easy to "break" your addiction to smartphones:

Don't use them in the first place.

That comment is even less helpful than saying "It's actually quite easy to break your addiction to alchohol - just don't drink".

The reason it's even less helpful is that, unlike alcohol, smartphones provide useful functionality in day to day life.

Smartphones provide useful functionality in day to day life.

Do they now?

If you've ever done any work to break a habit, or talked to someone who has, you'd know that it's not always that easy.

I have actually - including some pretty nasty ones.

But I'll confess at this point to be at a loss to understand this "smartphone addiction" thing people keep talking about.

Being as I've tried using them, and never understood their appeal in the first place.

Vacuous truths are still vacuous.
