    Meno: I’m surprised, I would think you would spend more time on something that in your pocket than something on the wall. But I think I can still safely assume that MOST people find smartphones a bigger danger than a TV.

    My chavrusa shared a nice idea with me, that I think the coffee room can definitely benefit from (especially those perusing this thread). How about totally disconnecting from technology for the first half hour after lighting the menorah? I tried it last night, I just turned off my phone and I really think it helped me internalize the message of Chanukah without the distraction.

    Try it!

    There is no question that I wasted much more time watching TV growing up than I currently do on my phone. Not sure if I can give a good explanation as to why that is so[…]

    How’s this one? – You had much more free time as a kid.

    mw13, two thumbs up.

    Ask yourself the following question: What’s the last thing

    you look at before you go to bed and the first thing you touch

    when you wake up in the morning?

    And if the answer is “my alarm clock,” what does that imply?

    Regarding the “parallel” to gun control, no one has the idea that

    the very possibility of going out and shooting people will tempt

    any normal person. The same is not true of the Internet.

    How seriously the danger of the ‘Net is taken by someone

    is generally how opposed they will be to a smartphone.

    Comlink-X: the answer is not your alarm clock, so that takes care of that.

    -or-

    Your phone IS your alarm clock.
