So there is this piece in the Seattle Times about smartphones, media, and waking up in the morning.
Whatever happened to mornings? Oh yeah – our smartphones
To summaries: More and more people are waking up and the very first thing they are doing is checking their phones, be it news, social media, or email.
This article really hits a note with me. I am very connected to my iPod Touch (I don't have a smartphone, but I use my Touch in a very similar way). I use it as my clock, much like the article talks about and I am checking it before my eyes even really wake up. Admittedly, I sit in the toilet the first thing and check my twitter. Sorry, but I do want to be truthful on this site.
I am going to try to do this less starting tonight. One major reason, the alarm clock on the iPod Touch is way to easy to shut off. I have done this more than I want to and cut it close to being late to things because of it.
Thanks for reading,
E
