Smart phones have become a necessity for most people. To many, they have become as important as a sensory or a body organ for human beings, without which they can’t survive. We need them around the clock.
Latest market competitions and new technologies makes their smartness much more attractive and cheaper. Some of us don’t even mind having to pay over $1,000 to get this smartness. That’s a lot of money.
From networking to shopping, for travelling in planes to riding on bicycles, we use smart phones for everything. It has reached a peak revolutionary stage. Our necessities are unlimited and the need for smart phones keeps on growing!
Now the risk lies here. We often forget our own life while constantly peering into our smart phones. Our time flies when we spend hours holding our phones. Yes, most of us do. So what’s wrong? If everyone is well aware of this, we should not be allowing ourselves to get addicted to our phones.
Look at today’s children. Even toddlers are using smart phones as if it is their second nature to understand it.
But what happens next? They forget the world. They grow up using phone hours and hours in a day. They use it while eating, before sleeping and as a play tool. It affects their eyesight. We all know this fact! Research has that it severely impacts children’s health. We know this but it doesn’t stop us from letting children use the phones.
We are not late, it’s time to think, prevention is better than cure. Let’s save our future generations from becoming addicted to this little piece of technology.
Use it for necessity. The real social network is outside. The real messaging is outside. Don’t miss out on this beautiful world.
