Remember Phone Numbers
Remember trying to make your phone number spell out a word?
Read a Map
Before Maps, there were just maps.
Balance a Checkbook
Thanks, online banking apps!
Write in Cursive
Do they even teach cursive in school anymore?
Write Legibly
Nobody reads handwritten stuff anymore anyway, right?
Take Pictures
There’s really no reason to take good pictures. You can just slap an Instagram filter on them. And call it art. What is an aperture? What is shutter speed?
Set an Alarm Clock
Like, an analog alarm clock. And let’s not even talk about manually changing clocks for Daylight Saving.
Do Math
When was the last time you calculated a tip in your head? Considering there are tip-calculating apps. Opposed to the calculator on your phone. I’m say it’s probably been a while.
Wait in a Line
Or maybe we’re really good at waiting in line now, thanks to the distraction of smartphones.
Go to the Bathroom
God forbid you spend 2 minutes staring at the wall. Instead of playing Angry Birds.
Read a Book
Turn on Lights
Yep, smartphones are even affecting our ability to flip a switch. Thanks a lot, WeMo.
Be Productive
Your smartphone is sabotaging your productivity even if you’re not using it. According to a study by researchers at the University of Southern Maine, the mere presence of a phone is distracting enough to affect your performance.
Sit Up Straight
We look at our smartphones so frequently that it’s starting to affect our posture and our skin. Tech neck is a real thing!
