LOL.
there has got to be an age restriction on this contest because I and a lot of seniors I know could do this easily.

Smartwater and it's parent company Coca cola are having a contest. ditch the phone for a year and possibly win 100K

I'm in no way "addicted" to my phone, but I wouldn't give mine up for any amount of money. My phone allows me to see daily photos and videos of my new grandbaby, to stay in touch with my grown sons who all live in other states, to check in on my elderly parents (also in another state), to be able to reach anyone in an emergency, and just to stay connected with friends and family all over the country.

Call me a cynic kayanne, people say that all the time but rarely is that what they are doing.

But isn't doing that every day sort of the definition of "addicted"

How about the thousand or so most people spend to have a pocket phone?

It would be a greater issue for my employer than me personally. Absent employment I could certainly handle it

I lived for nearly 68 years without a Smart Phone. I could give up the ones I've had for the last four. Bring it on.

so far, so good, as long as there are alternative ways to do the same thing.

Apple and Samsung should run a contest, don’t drink Vitaminwater or Coca Cola for a year and we might give one person $200k.
