I expected an "Android usurped iPhone 2 years ago and has never looked back" type of article. However he makes a point that was something I had a long struggle with. I too, could not help myself and would incessantly check my phone for facebook, twitter, or email updates. It affected every aspect of my life, and I knew things were bad when a co-worker mocked me with a swipe of the finger to a virtual iphone and every one knew instantly that he was making fun of me. I didnt stop then.<p>I really dont know how or why I stopped letting my phone rule my life. I think I would post a blog about it if I could figure out what switch was "flipped" in my brain that caused me to change. It happened pretty suddenly, but one day, I closed my facebook and twitter accounts. I stopped instinctively reaching for my phone every time I got an email. I stopped using it as a crutch in awkward social situations. I am not sure what the point of this post is other than I was hoping that typing it out would give me insight into how I did it. I really just think a sea change happened and I realized that my phone didnt have control over my actions anymore...
