+1 Smartphone is a universal addiction as opposed to cigarette smoking. If we do not do something about this, our future humans will walk around with stiff necks as this will be coded into our DNA and we will evolve accordingly.

For these reasons, I've started to log my smartphone usage. God knows everyone else is.

It should be fun to look at the data after a few weeks of logging via a free app.

Which app are you using to do this? I'm interested in trying this as well.

I've been running this for only the past week.

I noticed it has 'Export to csv' functionality, which is convenient. But I haven't yet verified that it works.

That's not really how evolution works.. there would have to be selection pressure that would favor the smartphone addicted

There would have to be selective pressure for people with the genetics for a naturally forward leaning head.

For most people, that's bad posture deviating from a more neutral head, so isn't genetic.

I just uninstalled Facebook from my phone last night. I keep opening my phone to check it and remembering that it isn't there.

Overall I'm glad I did it. I can still get on the laptop when I want to check in on people and will hopefully be less distracted at work. Looking forward to reconnecting with people in real life as opposed to virtually.
