Today, all people are addicted to their smartphones. This started because the big corporations wanted to start a new community. So they tried to sell their products (smartphones ...) to make money and become famous. If they are famous, they can sell more products. Thus, they can start a new community with their own products.
People also feel as if  they are a part of an extended self with smartphones. This is an addiction. They do not want to lose their new expanded self, so they become addicted to their smartphones. This is a reminder for caring relationships. This phenomenon is slowly beginning to take over our lives. In the near future and even today, people talk more and more behind screens than face to face. Even the people standing next to each other use their smartphones to communicate. Nowadays, technology has been partially manipulating our brains.
A really important system for this is the reward system. The reward system pours dopamine out. Dopamine is for us a reward. So we’re happy. If we start an experiment that names “Internet-free-days”, we wouldn't be happy and it’s really hard for us, because we are addicted to something.
