I had a dumb phone for a very long time, but after trying to navigate a cross-country road trip with a flip phone, I succumbed and upgraded to an iPhone. I can kinda be persuaded by the argument that we give up some of the adventure of traveling when we have the full details of the road before us, but I am more persuaded by having a gluten-free family who will need to eat at some point in the next hours and dammit, where is next Chipotle?
It is also interesting to me that many of the folks in the article admit it's not a problem with smartphones, but rather their own shortcomings--they can't not be distracted.
