    QUESTIONS.

    How Smartphone Changes Human Behaviour


    Phones have changed a lot since they popped up in Australian homes in the late
    1950s. Phones were originally screwed onto walls and attached with wires and cords. They
    used a circular dial with numbers that you had to turn to phone someone’s number. Push
    buttons came in later. People without a home phone or anyone out on the street were able
    to use a public or shared payphone in a phone box. Mobile phones first became popular in
    the 1990s. Since then smartphones have combined phone capability with instant messaging,
    internet access, cameras and navigation. Smart phones and the internet mean tasks that
    once took days, weeks or months now happen instantly, at the press of a button or swipe of
    a screen.
    We are living in the data age – not simply because of the increasingly important role
    that technology is playing in our lives, but also because of the vast amounts of information
    being collated about our habits. With a device that can send and receive not only phone calls
    and text messages, but also access the internet, send and receive emails, access websites,
    ans utilize social media, a new culture emerges. All of the new features of a cell phone have
    one thing in common and that is the fact that they were all created on the premise of making
    it effortless to communicate with others, whenever and wherever.
    Unfortunately, sometimes the situation becomes worse when we are too addicted with
    smartphones. For most Americans, their smartphone is the first thing they look at in the
    morning, and the last thing they check at night. During the day, most people check their
    phone on an hourly basis. People devote up to 85% of the time they spend using a
    smartphone on apps. Therefore, nowadays our social life is in the edge of our priority. We
    are more comfortable dealing with machines. We prefer playing game on smartphones,
    doing online transactions, even living with a robot. There’s other bad news too. Smartphones
    are making us more forgetful, they are affecting our concentration, making us dumber in
    general, and making us more forgetful.
    Every piece of technology has the potential to be both a boon and a curse.
    Smartphone, while they have brought people closer and have enabled even the most remote
    person to access the internet has the potential to cause dependence. It becomes our tasl to
    ensure that we do not allow ourselves to become dependent on smartphones; as well as to
    help those who already showing signs of addiction and dependence.
