Are Smartphones eating up our Smart Quotient?!!

Yes I finally came to this topic after so many people going ga-ga over it!
I always felt that there is a smart way of doing anything. Be it getting tasks done or using a smartphone. If we are too dependent on something then we will repent eventually . So when using a smartphone, dependency should be reduced is what i thought. Felt pretty smart thinking that up too!
A small accident and the crash of my So-Smart phone was what it took to open up my blog and get writing again.
I don't think it made me any less smart than i actually was. But it did eat away many small chunks of time that I used to spend on other things. For example, I haven't played my guitar in almost 3 months. Haven't blogged in past few months, There were so many things to blog about : the Tesla Home Battery, the new s6 edge, The lollipop, the Sony Xperia Z4, the beginning of many more things and the end of many many more things. I lost track of all those.
I knew them but since I was busy clicking and checking my smarty all the time, i couldn't produce a good article every-time i was awed by some other technological marvel!
I have used so many "haven't and couldn't " words that even my spell checker is crying to put apostrophe's!!!
I fell down a bike on Friday and crashed my head and phone to the hard concrete road!
Head seemed fine with a small scratch but smarty went into coma. Had to send it to its Company ICU till further notice.
But, after sending it home, I played till the battery died on my wikipad, I tuned back my guitar and played it till my fingers said no-more, I helped mom fix her kitchen light, I read something! and Yeahhhh I am finally blogging.
If a painting was done based on the tasks in my day to day life, I'd definitely see the vivid colors used in it without my smarty and the normal bland painting with smarty in it!
The Verdict : Smartphones might not make you any more smarter or dumber than you actually are! But, they do eat up a lot of small time chunks from ur life that might add up to a biggggg loss!!
The smarter the phone, the more are the time chunks disappearing.
