There are these 10 day vipassana meditation courses where you do nothing but meditate. No smart phone, reading or talking. Also segregated by male and females.
It would be hard to live without a smart phone or the internet in everyday life. The habits are so engrained and its the way we connect these days.
I confess that on the very first day after completing such a course, I spent several hours bingeing on my smartphone catching up on news. The pull of the screen is real.
