92 situations where your smartphone becomes toxic. 92 cases where your smartphone serves no purpose at all. 92 good reasons to turn it off. 92 solutions to permanently abandon it!

I suggest we lift our heads from our screens, gradually begin the detox process by applying some tricks on a daily basis, and rediscover the beauty of life, real life.

Many times I observed my friends being glued to their screens, smiling at the latest SMS they received. I found myself mimicking them, absorbed in the vast digital nothingness, jumping from emails to social networks, news, hashtags, SMS, and calls.

Has dealing with our smartphone become our favorite habit? Why do we have it in our hands 24 hours a day? Are we victims of its tyranny?

In reality, like you, I don't know the answer to these questions. While I do not deny its usefulness, I suggest you balance its use to reduce your dependency and relive.

It's no longer a trend, but a new reality. A new virtual reality, where everyone must clock in until they become an omnipresent factor of it, until they connect with it, like an IV that keeps us alive. Thus, the phone becomes our essential companion, an object from which we struggle to detach.

The real cause of its toxicity is its reckless use. However, if we make some small changes to our habits, if we regain balance by reducing our dependency on the mobile phone and use it correctly, we will rediscover moments, gazes, small joys that yesterday seemed very obvious, very natural, and today, many times, we no longer see.
