    I turned my phone on last night after about 3-4 weeks of it being off. Not bothered in the slightest.

    I am not embarassed at all to say that I have one cell phone, it;s a mid-90's model, and all I use it for is to have in the car if I am ever in an accident. It has no text capabilities whatsoever.

    I believe there's nothing so important that can't wait, so if anyone needs to reach me, they can call me at home, e-mail me, or (gasp!) write me a letter. Might not work for everyone, but it works for me.

    Think I am on my smart phone too often, checking msgs, facebook etc. Set my self a goal this morning of going 4 hours without looking. One hour down and it's harder than I thought.....who wants to join me?
    Yup

    Hell no.

    I have a personal iPhone, a work iPhone, an iPad a laptop and a desktop that I stare at almost constantly. I wish that weren't the case.

    I recently had a nightmare that I had a THIRD iPhone ... honest to God, I've never been more stressed out in my life.

    I can easily ignore my phone. I hate being available to everyone all the time, so I'm not.

    I definetly could. Besides MFP, I only use it to text or call my hubby when needed. I deleted FB and have spent way less time on the computer/phone.

    I am definitely on board with deleting facebook. It's sad that this is how I stay connected to people I was close with even just a few years ago. I think I'll cut it out for a month and see how it goes!

    It's not that hard. I go 4 hours without looking at it when I sleep.

    No. Husband and I tried to watch a movie with our phones down and it was seriously really hard to do it.

    The last time I charged my phone was December 7th. I am #OffTheGrid and LOVING it. If people need to reach me, they'll find a way.

    I do it all the time. Then again I have no social life.

    No can do... have clients that need immediate responses from me plus I have kids so I have to be available. But it sounds nice to be more "unplugged"!!!

    Learn some cool from a previous generation. It looks much too desperate to keep looking at a little screen when life is staring you in the face.

    Funny story Pre X-Mas I couldn't give to ****s where my phone was...

    Then I got an IPHONE

    I've sent like 1500 texts already since then, before that I barely sent 15 texts in a week.
