Human brains love stimulation. We'll generally engage in the activities that stimulate us that most.
The problem is that smartphones offer a level of stimulation that few things can compare with, except perhaps a live, high-energy music show. Computers are bad too, but it's harder to take those with you and use them wherever you are.
Without having some rules to keep oneself from being constantly absorbed by a smart phone and being disciplined about it, it's easy to just constantly be busy with your device.
Personally, I don't carry a smart phone, but a Nokia brick instead, because I don't want to be bitten by the zombie apocalypse.
