It's become a Second brain, like the frying pan has become a second digestive system for us. You can be expected to always have and you can expect people you I interract with to have. By owning a cellphone you increase your ability to recall memories (perfect recording of events), you increase your ability to interract and interface with other technologies, you increase your ability to communicate, you increase your actual intelligentce artificially by having access to any information at the tip of your hands.
It sounds strange, but think of smart phones as the first real step towards bumach Cybernetic augmentation. As we I terfact more with technology, those who do not own technology will essentially be left behind the future human evolutionary advances. Because biology is taking too long to adapt us for our modern world. We have outpaced evolution and are enhancing our own biological abilities artificially on levels never seen before in history.
So no, it isn't dependancy. It is essential to participate in the future of humanity. Saying it's a dependancy is as silly as saying electricity or sewer systems are depebdancies. They are solid advancements to humanity, and to forgo them is to effectively kill your ability to take part in the future.
Think about it.
