Assure fans of the art on the basis of iOS. - I'm just playing on your phone, when I go to the toilet. And playing in the subway. And I need a camera and WhatsApp. And the work is useful. " And yet, these people can not answer the question, Whether they are able to go to the toilet without your device.

A life without a smartphone can also greatly relieve the brain, because he does not have non-stop switch from task to task and handle a lot of content that is not even among the saved memories, as of no value. Mechanisms of compensation, which actively involve gaming applications are not working "idle" when the images of the destruction of balls or cubes on the screen, you will feel a series of short (and pointless) outbreaks satisfaction through the successful implementation of the task.
