These days, most of people have smartphones or laptop to use internet. They are really used to using the Internet and often use it. It was easy to see that I was also addicted to smartphones. When I meet my friends and chat with them, when I eat, or when I study, I usually keep my phone next to me and check messages or Facebook and Instagram notifications. Also, if I don’t have a phone in my pocket or hand when I go somewhere, I feel uneasy thinking if I lost my phone. All of these situations tell me that I am definitely addicted to smartphones or Internet.
Therefore, I thought that digital detox is really necessary for me or many people who are addicted to smartphones. According to the article, “What’s all this fuss about “digital detox” — and does it really work” it tells few ways about the digital detox. Some of those were they way I used before. I tried “30-day cleanse” before during the exam period. I felt really stressed because I could not concentrate on studying because of using smartphone. Therefore, I tried to use an application which helps me not to touch the smartphone. If I set up that I would not use my cell phone for an hour, if I turn on my cell phone for that hour, I would fail the mission and if I succeed, I would get compensation and build my own forest on the app. Using this app, I continued to study in this way, which made me feel proud and helped me study a lot.
I sometimes use this application during the period which is really important to me. However, I believe it can be further way from cell phone addiction.
