After 10 years of PDA/iPhone use (having destroyed, lost of worn out over 5 PDA's and 8 iPhones - 2G, 3G, several 3GS, 4 and 4S) I'm now on the lowest and smallest form of Android I could find. Just for calling, emergency telegram or maybe tethering for my laptop when really needed.
Why? Because the constant checking my phone was starting to get counter-productive. Working and typing for a phone does not provide a wholly dedicated experience.
At concerts, shows, events, etc. I started to take notice in the last years how everyone hunched into their phones instead of enjoying what was going on.
We are simple beings and can only experience so much - having constant feeds of information erodes your mind. It takes years but this will be a hot topic in the coming years.
When I lived at home 15 years ago my mother would taunt me "Get away from the computer some more" - Now I have to taunt her to put away her smartphone/facebook when I'm visiting her. The late majority of phone-users need to learn to control themselves.
