I set my phone down sometimes. Shoot me, Im human, busy and like to stop and smell the roses, and enjoy the quiet, and serentiy of the world when I am disconnected .
I dont think putting my phone down for 4 hours, or even an entire day on the weekend makes me a bad person , but it feels like it sometimes .
Anybody else ?
Im glad I am getting closer to the other end of this journey

I'm on the back half of life, but younger than many/some of the other folks here. I'm also in IT, so I am at a computer all day and at times can spend a ton of time on my phone. I'm also not afraid to put the phone down, go outside and leave the phone inside. If something happens and Internet access breaks, I don't freak out. I like to think that I'm fairly balanced as far as connectivity goes, at least, compared to many/most younger folks.
