Your Smartphone is not everything

Your Smartphone is not everything. Are you one of Smartphone addicts??

In the past, we use computer to search internet, use mobile phone to talk. With the development of communication device such as mobile phone, the online consumption pattern of people is changing gradually. We start to see people holding their Smartphone or tablets when they are walking, talking, eating, or whatever they are doing. On contrary, people less to use computer or perhaps a laptop to search internet since a Smartphone is always more convenience compared to a laptop which is quite heavy to bring along. Initially people use mobile phones to make calls, send message and text message. Today’s, the function of a mobile phone is closer to a handled computer. A Smartphone meet people’s requirement for its variety of function, big screen, and all sorts of rising expectations. By using a Smartphone, people are able to online whenever they want. They can read a book online, chat with friends by using a chatting apps, upload photos once they take, share their feeling in social network or even shopping. There are too many things we can do by just sliding the screen of the Smartphone. 

Because of this, the attention of people is always on the screen of a Smartphone more than the people around him or her. It is very common in nowadays we see a group of people having a dinner but each of them is so busy to chat with their friends (not the friends who having dinner with them) online through all kinds of chatting apps such as Wechat, Line, Whatapps and other,  taking the photo of the food and uploads to the social network, update their status, check-in, or viewing the Facebook and else. Do you think this is a normal phenomenon? For me, of course it is not and is very unhealthy. The habits of life of people are changing and unfortunately they do not find it is a problem for that. Communication between people is less since all they people are looking at the screen of a Smartphone rather then the people around them. They chose to chat with friends online rather than spend time with the people around them. We are changed by the Smartphone and definitely it is not a good change! How long you have not looked at the sky that is much more beautiful than the ‘world’ inside your screen?  So, don’t over-reliance on your mobile phones. It is more worth to enjoy the nice scenery around you and talk face to face with your beloved friends and family members!

  1. For me, if we want development, we lose humanity; if we want humanity, we lose development.

    1. True. That's why most of the people nowadays would rather just throw their technology stuffs aside, and enjoy their life. The lesser they get to these technological stuffs, the more they enjoy the true meaning of "life".

  4. i think that there can be a balance between development and humanity.
    the important thing is how we try to manage and control ourselves.
    it all depends on us.
    however many of us cannot have good management from ourselves.
