Mobile Phone Addiction Controller

Do you use your mobile so often that you feel like you're addicted to it ? If you want to control this addiction, I got a small and easy trick. You need not download any app package, or buy a separate new gadget. There is an inbuilt option which you could use for this purpose. The concept is disabling colours form your mobile phone, that is having black and white screen.

The black and white colour will sure reduce the mobile phone addiction to some extent. Most of the time we check our phone even if there is no notification at all. This is probably our mind is addicted to the fancy colours, the fancy icons in launcher, the widgets in our home screen. But we don't feel that we're addicted, we don't agree either. Most people use to see time from their mobiles even though they wore watches. They only get satisfied when they see time in their mobile. So having a non colour mobile phone could control the addiction for it. You will use it only when needed.

Also some people say black and white colour is safe for eyes, but too much of white light will strain the eyes. Using this bnw colour would be more helpful if you while using mobile during night with low brightness. Some colours are really harmful when using the mobile in dark.

The another advantage battery usage will be reduced. Producing a colourful image would require more power compared to a monochrome image.

So, turn this feature on and give it a try if you really want to control the mobile phone addiction. I used this for a week and felt some changes, infact I hated my mobile phone without colours.
