Are we Smartphone-obsessed?

We adore our Smartphones. Don’t we?  There’s no disagreeing it. In fact, we love them so much that we never want to lay them down. Most of us relentlessly check for text messages, emails, and the latest  Facebook updates at all times of the day, whether we’re in a gathering, at lunch with a friend, or just at home in front of the TV.

Of course, it’s easy to justify our love for our Smartphone. Most people who own Smartphone use it as their alarm clock right beside them even during sleeping— making it too hard to ever feel unplugged from work and social networks.

Thousands of apps escalate the number of things you can do with your phone which is basically a hand-sized computer. These wireless devices have changed the way we converse, work and entertain ourselves. For many people, the last thing we do before we go to bed is check our Smartphones, and it's often the first thing we reach for in the morning. It's basically an extension of us.

Entertainment is another benefit of Smartphones with multimedia features that allow you to play games, watch television or movies, listen to music or read eBooks. They are portable, reliable and capable. We all love our Smartphones so much that we start buying their outfits (panels and cases).

Even after so many advantages, so what could be bad about them?

Though I am typing this on my screen on the PC, I'm still checking my phone :) 

A Smartphone knows us more than our mothers. A minute I miss my phone, I start panicking.

Psychologists are concerned about a troubling issue-The growing obsession among people who would much rather interacts with their Smartphones than with other human beings.

Many of us are so genuinely engrossed in our phones that we ignore the people around us completely. 

The more we convince ourselves that it's immature, the better off we'll be, because then we'll be prepared to make it the way we need it to be for us.

So my final question is “Are we using the Smartphones or the Smartphones using us?”

And remember….

It’s our own job as the phone owner to establish the rules, determine the boundaries and limits
