In the article “Addicted to the Smartphone? Here's what to do” Susan Davis presented several points that support why today's society is addicted to smartphones. “That study found that certain environmental factors – such as being bored or listening to a lecture – trigger habits. And while the average user checks their smartphone 35 times a day – for about 30 seconds each time, when the information benefits are greatest (for example, having contact information linked to the contact's whereabouts), users they check even more often." (Davis, p. 2). Unfortunately, people are not aware in using smartphones. I really like this article because it shows us the reality of cell phone interactions in our daily lives and how we can manage them. There are several important points that the author has mentioned in the article. He explained how he explored the different applications of that device throughout the day, even while preparing breakfast. Davis pointed to several percentages that show us the daily use of smartphones in different scenes of our lives, for example in bed and on vacation. He also discussed whether smartphone use is a hook or a habit and how this can interfere in our lives. The author defined multicity as the act of the phone causing addiction as opposed to the user creating the habit. He determined three endpoints that can help you manage your smartphone use. Unfortunately, people are not aware in using smartphones. I really like this article because it shows us the reality of daily interactions with mobile phones and how we can manage them. The article suggests that smartphone use is a modern compulsion that has been growing in recent years. According to Davis, a study but... middle of paper... because if I follow these three simple points I can also improve my daily time and just like you said: appreciate my environment. It is very important to be conscious when we raise our children and, on the contrary, it is terrible when I sometimes see parents playing with their smartphones while they are with their children. Parents have missed out on magical moments with their children in exchange for the touch of a “smart” box. Ultimately, Davis has found that when she can put her smartphone away, she concentrates better and feels more aware of her surroundings and feels relaxed. Day after day people are more and more addicted to using smartphones. It's scary how society is immersed in smartphone addiction. I hope we will be more aware of our time and put aside the magic device and meet with others again and not convert smartphones into our friends.
