Trash your smartphone - Neuroscience - Salon.com: There you sit, hammered by stimuli: On your computer screen, you're pounded by an overflowing RSS reader, twitching Facebook and Twitter feeds, an email box constantly chirping at you and IM bubbles doing their best pop-up video impression; off in the distance, your television frantically flits between images of explosions and a screaming, overcoiffed suit whose impossibly fat head floats disembodied above a never ending ticker-tape; and on your desk, face up, a cellphone perpetually spasming with text messages, photos from friends, yet more email and, of course, phone calls.
