A recent study shows that people in a simulated work environment who couldn’t easily reach their smartphone ended up distracting themselves with their laptop instead. Experts say it’s not the devices causing the distraction, but how we’ve been trained to constantly check them. To reduce digital distraction, we need to change how we use all our devices.

News summary by Rebecca Mercuri, PhD.
Ben Brooks on the nature of the advice on how to keep yourself from being distracted.
…There seems to be this idea that tech itself is addicting and that many are handcuffed to tech by way of their phone. And so often the advice, like that advice above, is along the lines of eschewing tech during some part of your life. It’s bad advice, it’s avoiding the hard questions and finding a scapegoat.

the truth is, if that is the route you are going to take, then why have a smartphone? Why not not have a smartphone? Because you can’t function in this world without one, right?
