So, we reached that point already where we are so forward that we want to go backward? The things that make our life easier really just make it better? I am not sure... I'm not going to say you are wrong, only it is quite funny if you think about it...
If you can't say no and don't have much self-control, it just makes sense to get rid of the device that empowers those behaviors. I imagine those people are in the minority but perhaps in the majority amongst geeks. Not to mention things like reddit blockers, etc.
