It might just be my age showing, but I tried to downgrade and failed. I very rarely use our home computer, which runs on dial up. My phone's internet is faster than our computer's! I don't have an iPod or anything fancy like that either (though I do have an iPad that I never use and need to get rid of), so I used my phone for literally everything -- GPS, music, e-reader, camera and video, internet, texting, calling, e-mailing, Skyping, news, TV shows, weather alerts, note-taking, you name it...
But even though I use it for everything, I'm not always using it. I can put my phone away and socialize without it, and get through anything I need to (class, work, etc) without bothering about it.
Anyway, I cut it off and went back to an old pre-paid Nokia cellphone about a year ago, and by the end of the fifth month I was wild-eyed and pulling my hair out, haha. I was so reliant on my smartphone! It did everything! So I got rid of TV cable and dial-up internet, and brought back my smartphone. I'm never, ever disconnecting it again, unless something goes horribly wrong and I have to.
