Are We Addicted to Our Phones Or Is It Just A Way of Life?

article image placeholderUploaded by @MsColes77
But as smartphone technology increased and businesses saw an opportunity to increase their business by putting an application on your phone versus you having to find a computer so you can get on the internet, well, it was a big boost for these businesses to have their application on your phone. Everybody doesn't have access to a computer and there may be times where you need to take care of something very quickly and you don't have time to get to a computer. So you have your phone with you at all times

And yes, there are certainly people who have very important positions that they can't step away from. I get that. But for a lot of us, there's immediate anxiety because I can't see if someone's having a conversation on social media, I can't collect my bonuses in my game that I play every single day. Things like that manifest a lot

Hey. So I know for me, I'm just gonna be all the way honest. Like, I low key, I'm a little addicted to my phone. That's just the reality of it. My phone is always in my hands, which is a bad thing. I already know it's. Being addicted to anything is bad. Right. But this phone thing is just ridiculous for multiple reasons. I know we've talked about this

Because one thing I've learned is that having a smartphone, sometimes you realize your attention span is as it used to be. Your focus is not as sharp as it used to be because you're so used to having this diversion next to you at all times. And so I agree with everything you said. You made some excellent, excellent points. And thank you for clarifying. I appreciate your input

But I know that it's difficult for some people. For some folks, this is their way of communicating with the world. Everybody can't get out and be around people like they would like, and so their phone helps them to connect with the outside world
