smartphone addiction
The advent of the 'smart phone' was innovative. Smart phone could function in a various way. Many apps that perform a specific program made people live more comfortable life. For example, people could easily find the way to the destination, listen to the newly updated music right away, and send kakao talk messages. As smartphone made our life too comfortable, however, people became addicted to the smartphone. This made people very dependent on using smart phones.
There are some kinds of symptoms of smartphone addiction. First, there are people who are so dependent on their phones that they cannot leave theirs. We call it nomophobia. Also, people could be dizzy, have headaches, and feel heavy eyelids ( cibermareo). Excessive use of smartphone devices results in a poor posture which causes pressure on the spine and leads severe pain in neck and shoulders(iPostura). In addition, ‘the dry eye syndrome’ is a symdrome caused by too much staring at the mobile devices, which makes our eyes dry.
In order to get out of being addicted to a smart phone, first, we should admit that we are addicted to a smart phone. Then, express that you will not use smartphone a lot publicly so, people will understand you being late at answering their messages and will warn you when they see you using a smart phone too much. In addition, you can go out and breathe fresh air or exercise so as not to be tied down to using smart phones.
Actually, when I entered the university, I kept sending messages and did SNS with my smart phone. I felt being addicted to using a smart phone. Even though I don't use my phone that much as I did when I was the freshman, I still use my phone a lot. Also, my sister was very addicted to her smart phone. So, my parents warned us to stop overusing smart phones. So, my sister and I promised not to use our phones too much and this led us to control overusing our smart phone. So, I recommend the readers of my blog to first indicate that you are addicted to a smart phone and start to eradicate you habit, right now!! It's because the more you delay curing your bad habbit, the harder it will be to cure your addiction toward smartphone.
