Yes, Eric. It's a sad state of affairs. Even I am guilty of feeling nervous if I don't have my phone. Remember the days when we heard busy signals? Thanks for such a thought provoking post.

You're welcome, @fairytalelife. Thanks for reading and commenting. Have you ever noticed how when one person in a group pulls out their phone, the rest tend to? I sometimes forget my phone when I'm walking Amstel and it's such a feeling of freedom. Sadly, people expect to get ahold of you instantly these days and worry if you don't respond right away so unless I forget I usually have mine with me. I'm contemplating the Apple Watch because, if used with some forethought, it might free me from the phone. The hepatic touch would alert me of a message and a quick flick of the wrist would tell me if I needed to respond right away or if it could wait. I'm not sure if the watch would take me further down the rabbit hole though. It's tough.
