When Grothaus describes various stages of anxiety, frustration, and relief during his week without a smartphoneI was not surprised at all, at first you feel like you are going to miss anything between friends and family. Then you realize that you do not need a phone to keep in touch it is better to go see them and have a actual face to face conversation instead of over the phone. I would have the same stages i would feel like i was missing something but then after a while I would just get use to it.
