A
survey in Britain has revealed that smartphone users prefer to use their
devices on browsing the net, social networking, listening to music and playing
games instead of actually making calls. Smartphones have played the role of
alarms, watches, cameras, diaries, newspapers, MP3 players, photo albums,
radios, TVs, GPSs, torches and even books. A survey on iPhone and Samsung
Galaxy users showed that more than half of them use their devices as alarms,
39% have stopped having a separate camera and 46% no longer wear a watch. Smartphones
now play a far greater role than making calls and SMS.
Smartphones has successfully stolen people from their life
activities. People keep their smartphones near them from the moment they wake
up until the moment they go to bed. Surprisingly, people aren't addicted to
smartphones themselves as much as they are addicted to "checking
habits" of repeatedly and quickly checking for news updates, emails, or
social media connections. Human beings have a deep strong desire to know
everything that's going on around them, the need to know any new bit of
information. In order to fix this problem, the key is maintaining balance by
being strong in facing these temptations and being discipline in not using the
device in certain situations such as driving.
So, use your smartphone smartly and
gain your life back!
