Great article!

I use my smartphone loads(I always post on here using one for example), and it can actually be mentally very tiring it you use one too much. There have been times in the past when I’ve actually sensed I was spending too much time using my smartphone and it wasn’t doing me any good; I’ve deliberately given myself breaks from using my phone on those occasions, where I’ve made a point of turning my phone off and just leaving it alone for up to a month at a time, and the relief I’ve felt from doing that has always been massive.
I think they can become exhausting if you use them too much. I can totally empathise with the people mentioned in the article!
