How to stop Technology ruling and almost practically ruining my life?

I used to have a lot of gadgets, iPad, iPhone, DS, Smart Watch, TV, DVD's Laptop, the list was endless. Now al I have is an iPhone and a Surface Tablet. I've narrowed it down to the two. But i'm still constantly on them. And dare I say it. Browsing ebay, reading useless articles. I realise i'm not the only one here. But does anyone else feel that its ruining their precious days? Does anyone have any advise? I work 37.5 hours, I go skateboarding/surfing and I walk practically anywhere. But I still surf the net & play games on my tablet constantly when i'm home. Is this really that bad?How to stop Technology ruling and almost practically ruining my life

Over time, I do think it changes our habits of mind. I used to be a big reader as a kid and young adult, but the older I get, the less I read, and I sincerely believe this is primarily due to a shortened attention span that has been waning steadily for years. I have a hard time leaving my phone alone when I drive, even when my students are doing class activities.

So I don't think the act of being on a piece of technology is bad per se, but I do think it creates bad habits over time. In my experience, anyway.
