　　Addiction to Smartphones

　　Do you check your smartphone frequently? Do you feel distracted if your smartphone is not with you? When there’s no wifi or signal for your smartphone, will you get irritated? If you say yes, then you’ve got addiction to smartphones. Smartphone addiction is a phenomenon that causes a lot of troubles to people.

　　In the first place, it may cause some problems to your health, such as visual fatigue², cervical spondylosis, and even neurasthenia. A friend of mine suffers from a serious spine³ collapse⁴ due to her addiction to smartphones during pregnancy⁵.

　　Secondly⁶, if you keep playing with your phone when you are with your friends or family, you will spend less time talking to them. In fact, it is they who need and deserve to be cared for.

　　Lastly, an excessive reliance on smartphones may weaken your interpersonal skills. When you cannot find a place, you consult your GPS instead of consulting local people. You spare more time playing mobile games than playing real games with real people. As time passes, it’s possible that you may have difficulty in communicating with people.

　　Therefore, isn’t it better to get rid of smartphone addiction?
