discuss Are you addicted to your gadgets?

[NatureFreak]

Believe it, there are quite a number of people out there who can't last 10 minutes without their phones. Others don't mind sitting down in front of their laptop or PC, even when there's nothing relevant to do.
It would seem like their lives revolve around their gadgets, more like it they are the ones being controlled, not the other way round.
Is that the case with you?

I’m not addicted to any gadget. I use my phone more often because I used it for work. Aside from that, I'm not addicted to it. But hey! You're right as some people can't put down their phones or computers. It's like they're stuck!

I was like this too but I learnt to just do away with it and spend some quality time with my family as they complained too much about this.

I belong to a circle of friends who are obsessed with laptops and PCs. I think they influenced me but mine was just my phone.

I’m not addicted to any gadget.

Good for you. It took me time to adjust myself. I had to stay a week without phone to fight my obsession for it.

I got addicted to laptop because I have to work at least 40 hours a week with it. It has become an integral part of me as I plan all my activities with it. Infact I use my laptop more than my mobile phone.

 

[Reelz]

I try to stay connected with my friends, or whenever I'm stressed, I quickly pick up my phone to relax. That's what makes me addicted to my phone. I look for fun things to do and the only way out is my phone. But I don't let it hurt my life. I practice moderation

 

[Heatman]

I would be lying if I say that I'm not because I literally do so much everyday on my smartphone/laptop. My daily screen time is around 12 hours which says a lot about how much I can't do without those gadgets.

 

[Harsh World]

Admittingly, I am.

However, if my wife or daughter picks up that I'm using it too much while I'm out with them, I will immediately put it away or keep it in the car and have the strength to not touch it again for the duration of the outing.

My daily screen time is around 12 hours

Probably over this if I add smartphone screen time and laptop screen time.

My laptop and phone are always with me but I am not addicted to my gadgets, I can live without them. In fact sometimes I do not use then for the entire day and don't have any withdrawal symptoms

If I do not use my gadgets, I do not have a feeling or discomfort of not using them. That is a sign of a healthy personality. It is calming because I can literally log off and not bother about it.

Wow that's cool. It shows you are neither addicted nor obsessed with them. That should be how we view gadgets, not allowing them to be too relevant that we can't do without them.

 

[EMMANUEL]

I am actually not addicted to my gadget. being addicted is not being able to do without, definitely i can do without my gadget, i have actually stay away from my gadget for days.

 

[Unvarnished]

That is a great improvement, I can boast of the same. I don’t believe I am addicted to my device but I occasionally find myself browsing the internet on my phone or laptop but I make sure not to get carried away.

 

[King Belieal]

I would not say that I am addicted to my gadgets. But so much of my life is built around my gadgets that I really can't do a moment without it. I really can't do anything without my smartphone and laptop.

 

[Fidelia1]

I am so addicted to my gadgets and I can't deny it. But I have a control with that addiction though. You won't see me using my gadgets in a situation that demands me listen or be working at the material time.

 

[gwolf666]

No, I don't think I'm addicted to gadgets, although I have a few on my phone, I don't usually have many since that slows down the phone and causes the battery to discharge much faster.

 

[Yama]

I don't use a lot of gadgets, but the one that I use are being used for my work. I use them a lot and I need them for work. I wouldn't say I am addicted to these gadgets.

 

[Niyi Brixx]

I think it's safe to say i'm not addicted to my gadgets. I use my phone a lot but i can definitely stay up to a day without making use of it.
