2. Use your smartphone or tablet moderately and only when necessary.

"Moderate" is a subjective term but then we can say "less". We constantly complain that we are short of time and this is the way to steal a few precious minutes for something pleasant and useful. When was the last time that you walked for pleasure, for example? Do you keep fit? Do you have fun? Do you have time for the dance course you wanted to start? Do you see live your virtual friends? We can do thousands of things instead of staring at the colourful screen.

3. Use more often the larger laptop or computer screen.

Staring at a small screen tremendously strains the eyes and makes us stare in a way that is not typical for them. The video streaming services that have recently become extremely popular are useful when you are on the road or on a business trip, but what a pleasure it is to watch a film on a small screen. Using the big screen sitting in a chair will allow us to do our job faster and thus we will have more time for fun and socializing with our friends, family and loved ones.

4. Our personal life is our real life.

The panic that we are missing something that is happening in the virtual space is one of the main reasons for our fears of losing our smartphone or tablet or of not having it at hand. It is clear that, on social networks, we can select the picture in which we look in the best possible way, find the right quote to share and to receive a virtual confession to make us feel better for the moment. Seriously, is this the purpose of our lives, to collect "likes"?

5. End the day at leisure.

Reviewing a news site, e-zine or reading an e-book before sleep, yes, this is understandable. However, it is not if you did not look away from the same small screen all day long. Take a break, relax, listen to some relaxing music or do a relaxing exercise before going to bed to reduce the stress and tension of the day. Going to bed with a head full of thoughts and information does not bode for a nice and restorative sleep.

Do not get me wrong, I love modern technology and I am interested in such devices. I even use them too much sometimes. I have a tablet and smartphone. That is why I have discovered for myself the benefit of their use and I have witnessed what they can take away. Mobile devices as well as everything to which they connect us are an integral part of modern life. Nevertheless, they are just a tool we can use to make our lives easier, as they were created for that purpose, ​​or they can take us away from it. I suggest that you watch the video and look at the people around you, and then at your daily round.

If this article has provoked negative feelings in you and if you disagree with it then probably you have already become addicted to your mobile gadgets. It is easy to make things take the right course in order for you to start to use them as usual instead of allowing them to use you.
