Almost every smartphone user is addicted to it , without mobile phone and internet we feel life is tough. What are the practical ways to control this addiction?
Based on my observation this is not universal:
1. there are continent-based Internet usage patterns
2. usage in some developing countries is more than the developed ones
3. infrastructure and costs matter
to shape behavior change, we might need to understand various factors suchas why someone in Europe might prioritize spending less time vs someone in Asia.
Dear Prof. Jagmohan Sharma , yes I do believe that there should be some control. I found this interesting article about mobile addiction:

7 Ways your smartphone controlling your life
I have actually read an article on how some companies are banning smart phone use while at work - productivity and safety are the reasons!
We can limit mobile using for short time and using it only for necessary things. According to me, I use the mobile for an average of one hour daily.
The only way to get rid of addicting the smartphone is by organizing a time of use it and try to gradually return for normal life without the phone only when necessary
By seeking another habit to busy ourselves away from the cell phones like sport , music , or sharing in community social activities
Through some apps which keeps track of the usage of different applications.
