Smartphones rules is what everyone would accept all-round. There’s lot of benefits using smartphones and
it’s almost a pocket computer connected with internet, which means reaching
every nook and corners of the world. But at same time there are many addicted
to the device which means of killing themselves if they lost or someone prevent
them from using smartphones. Though everyone beyond age difference uses
smartphones, the young girls are so much attached to the gadgets where even
they would drop their boyfriends but not their smartphones. I read news in
paper where a marriage has been cancelled in Uttar Pradesh, when the bridegroom
family learns that the bride is addicted to Whatsapp and was always online,
sending messages nonstop to their family members. Additional news I read today
was a judge at Jharkhand court has investigated a case through Whatsapp, for
what the Supreme Court has condemn.
I think the smartphones and
social networking is overrunning its need and we are out of touch from the real
caress and brush. I feel our basic sense is challenged as we continue to rely
on smartphones; our relationships are affected to a state of broke down.
There’s a woman works as a housemaid at the neighbour’s house and she often
brings her daughter along to perhaps help her and she looks like someone in her
late teen and school dropped, held the phone always in her ear. Sometime she
was loud talking passing our home and was also bold in uttering words that most
would hold secret. There’s a young lady at the opposite house who used to keep
talking once entered a call and go on walking the street until she end the
call. She used to sit outside her home in evenings with mobile while her son
plays around she keep doing messaging with an eye around. There’s another young
mother in neighbour’s house who do the same whenever seen but from an iPad,
which almost cover her side face. And I really wonder how she holds that size always
in hand and up to the ear.
As I talk about others, I
couldn’t give a miss to one of my cousin who’s always on her smartphone. She keeps away her mobile is pretty rare and
sometime use it even while at charge. Her mobile frequently beep with message
notifications and she’s couldn’t do anything or look tense until checkout
what’s up. I know two ladies who’re always on smartphone. Though we are friends
in Facebook, they the sis-in-laws of my maternal aunt is so much used to
smartphones and one of them is intense where she continues to share whatever
forwarded to her. Other day the both came to our house to invite for one of
their newly built home, where I noticed they don’t let down their mobiles. Both
aged above 50, their devotion to smartphone is really wondering. I too use
smartphone and more lately but I’m not a kind or influenced by the smartphone to
keep on checking. There are days I unchecked the phone and I’m not an instant
responder to any notification or message. Perhaps my online friends circle is
small and mostly built on blog friends; I don’t get frequent messages and
updates that much. There’s another cousin of mine who used to hang on mobile
and he also carry a power bank along! I may sound complaining and I know that
everyone’s part of this company but overworking may result in some other way
unhealthy and we should make certain the smartphones doesn’t overrun our
intelligence or make feel numb.
Smart phones can be good and bad. They can take over people's lives when they should interacting with other it is bad. maybe everyone should limit their smart phone usage, spend more time with loved ones. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a smart phone but everyday I see people with them and yes they seem addicted. The bad side of it all is that people are missing out on life. Interacting socially will be very awkward for those people. I just think it is a sad experience. I know technology is good but it also bad too when you overdo it.
ReplyDeleteNice post Jeevan and have a great Wednesday.
Great post on 'smart phones' ~ they have changed the world but not always for the better ~ Too many people don't talk with each other ~ strange world we are building.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear there was party and that you are in your new home ~ hope it is all you hoped for and then some ^_^
Happy Day to you,

The issue is, our lifestyles are making us go far away from loved ones, hence the need to connect with other people through smartphones. We don't realize when the need becomes an addiction!

So true! I love my smartphone as a tool, but I read recently that it's ruining relationships - especially for young people who would rather chat over the phone than meet in person.
ReplyDeleteMy wife has been criticizing me for being hooked onto my smartphone. I am trying hard to overcome my addiction.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that smartphone has taken over the world in an amazing way. Young and old alike are hooked on the smartphone!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you, Jeevan. As you know from my blog, this digital age can be both a blessing and a curse. It's great to have knowledge at our fingertips but all things in moderation.

smart phones will make people dumb in the future...?
ReplyDeleteMy spouse and I stumbled over here coming from a different web
ReplyDeleteaddress and thought I may as well check things
out. I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to looking
at your web page again.
Many people have become slaves to handphones here. Many parents use the smartphones and iPads as baby sitters for their restless and noisy kids.
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed reading your thoughts about smartphones and social media. It is the same over here. Some people seem to have their smartphone permanently attached to their bodies.
ReplyDeleteHello Jeevan, I came to your blog from Karen’s, and I very much agree with your observatiins in this post. People of all ages are allowing electronic devices to overtake their lives and it is very unfortunate. I also have a smart phone and many times will mute the volume so as not to be disturbed. People need to connect with one another up close and personal and that is being ignored.
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this website.
