The impact of smartphones
Time is a factor that should be conserved. The way people manage time tells the extent of success. In education, it is evident that the students who practice time management end up topping the class. The impact of smartphones has affected how people consume their time. Through smartphones, there is ease of access to information — companies such as facebook and what sup provide platforms for socialization. The progress and success of social media have been promoted by the existence of smartphones. One breakthrough the media giants have come up with is an endless list of preferences of customers. Take, for example, when scrolling down YouTube or facebook feed. The list is endless, as reloading occurs. The people who run Netflix once said that they are competing with sleep, meaning that they are utilizing all the resources to ensure that people spend an enormous amount of time on the platform. The effect of smartphones through the presence of social platforms has created an environment of procrastination and time-wasting. Take, for example, one needs to carry out a task, he or she might come across an interesting video, and the craving to watch it surpasses the urge to get back to the task. The result is time catching up with you. Smartphones have caused people in society to be caught up with deadlines and thus not carrying out tasks successfully. Sometimes the job needed is crucial, and the influence of smartphones can worsen the situation.
The smartphone is an invention that has killed the childhood of our children. Back in our days, we used to interact with the neighbors, and the importance of the interaction is still felt till this moment. The childhood interaction brought cohesion between individuals of society. In the past, when smartphones were not available, children used to wake up and take breakfast and go to play games that involved physical exercise. Through such games, the creativity of children becomes enhanced. This era has brought about the existence of a generation of children who do not even know their immediate neighbors. Such a situation is harmful to society. They say, ‘no man is an island.’ The person who came up with such a wise saying made real sense. The world is one hell of a place that needs people to stick together. One cannot survive without the other- this is one thing society has taught. The influence of smartphones has killed interaction between individuals.
Also, creativity has decreased due to the influence of smartphones. The childhood of our parents or even the grandparents involved undertaking activities and songs that promote creativity. Some games help people understand the value and working of banks others enabled boys to understand the design of cars. Young boys build cars using mud or wires. Some went to the extent of installing working headlights. Such a high level of creativity prompted a generation of scientists who knew what they were doing. One can ask a question, why are the roads made in the past more durable and of high quality? The reason lies in the creative nature of the past. Now, smartphones have caused the children to utilize the space in their homes without leaving. A child might get a hold of a smartphone, and the next time you see him or her is when he or she comes for the next meal. This issue can be the reason why our children take on careers in which they do not understand how useful it might be to society.
The children undertook activities that involved physical exercise. Talking of a personal case hardly did you meet a boy who did not know how to kick a ball. The girls also knew how to dodge balls through the games they played. Such games made sure there was proper development of bones. Also, medically, the fats and cholesterol levels were low since, through playing, the lipids were broken down to release energy. Cases to do with obesity were rare. Now, the influence of smartphones has led to the development of a vice that has raised concerns of the world health organization. There is a need to use all measures necessary to fight obesity among children. Through the use of smartphones, the children find less time to play and use most of the time sitting down operating the phones. The body needs to breakdown the fat present, and it occurs only when the metabolism of carbohydrates has ended. The society is feeling the effect of obesity in children as they become dormant and vulnerable to diseases. Obesity is a vise since, at the moment, world health organization has designed strategies to fight it.
