"Star Trek Into Darkness director JJ Abrams has expressed a distaste for smartphones. The filmmaker believes that such devices &amp;quot;disconnect&amp;quot; the user from the people they are with, and make it difficult to take a break from working life.   &amp;quot;When you go out, you might as well be in the office, because [you have your mobile] phone,&amp;quot; The Hollywood Reporter quotes him as saying. &amp;quot;This technology connects you with everyone you are not with, and disconnects you from everyone you are with.&amp;quot; Abrams recently declared that he favours traditional film-making techniques over digital, admitting that he is yet to shoot a movie in digital. The director is currently working on Star Wars Episode 7 for Disney, with an early 2014 start date targeted.
