Smartphones make humans need phones that they don't really need. They just think that they must get the latest stuff. In many wealthy countries there are more than one phone for one person. I don't really see a point in having many phones. I bet that in many cases the person with many phones could continue his life with just one. Soon humans will drown to the amount of cell phones and environment will take a big hit because of that.
Smartphones have also done some good things. Nowadays phones are more than just phones, you can access internet anywhere and get useful applications which can help you in the daily life. It also seems that digital cameras are being combined with smartphones. Soon there is no need to create digital cameras because every phone will have something like ten plus megapixels in their cameras. Same with ipods and mp3's because you can download music to every phone nowadays.
Because smartphones are so useful and you can do so many things with them they are starting to ruin social moments. No tourist has to go ask help with a location because his phone will show the exact location and the route to location. I also have seen this phenomenon myself quite some times. I have gone to a bus and everyone is just sitting there with their phone on their hand. People walk around the city with their phone and don't even give a small look at anyone else. Person becomes a slave of his phone.
Well written blog and you pointed out many important remarks! The picture is good! I have read some news of research which tells about how smartphones effect your health and life. For example smartphones strain your fingers and neck and your eyes get tired. The research also says that young people get stress because they think that they have to be reachable all the time. It's alarming that people are addicted in mobile phones and become slaves of their phones as you said. Smartphones are great innovations but I think that people have to think about how they can use smartphones reasonably.
ReplyDeleteThis text was very well written like Jenni said. It's true that cell phones has became more like smartphones. Nowadays people can't get rid of their phones anymore because they includes internet and all things like that. I like the way how you think about this subject and I totally agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI also own one smartphone and I like it because it so easy to use because you can for example go to the internet and there is also WhatsApp, which is really useful, because you can talk with your friends so easily with it.
Maybe people still have to switch off their phones sometimes and really focus in this world, if you know what I mean.
Mobile phones are now important part of daily life for an enormous amount of people. Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced, with built-in cameras, global positioning devices and internet access. Nowadays you can watch TV, download internet files at high speed and send video clips to friends.
