Smartphones Value in Our Life

Smartphones increasingly control our lives. We need to keep check on our digital lives and move on. 

Smartphones considered to be the only tool/ instrument/non-living thing in the history of mankind to have changed our lives so much that we cannot function without them anymore, control our lives. Terms such as smartphone gait, digital life, digital diet and so on are quite common in the tech world. In fact in South Korea, one of the most digitally connected countries in the world, a new term - digital dementia - is being used to deal with patients suffering from Internet addiction and the overuse of smart phones. 

Different rounds of research and polls have proved that in counties such as US, the United Kingdom, China, India, South Africa, Indonesia and Brazil, one in five people check their smartphones every 10 minutes. Slowly human generation will become Nomophobic - the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.  

I have not been using my smartphone from last week, as it is in the service centre, so I myself feeling distress because I am not using my smartphone. It feels, I am not in touch with the world. But it is good to spend time in reading books rather than just viewing notifications all the time. Free from notifications for few days. 

I don't understand, What is the need to be digitally active round the clock? Lot of research has been conducted to stop being slave to Digital World but present world is nothing without Smartphones. So Smartphones have become an essential part of life and we cannot do anything to save us from being addicted to smartphones.

Smartphones Save us all!!
