Have smartphones changed our lives for the better?

1
It's hard to believe that smartphones have only been around for little over a decade. They're now so common
that it's surprising if someone doesn't have one. As I sit on the underground in the mornings, all I see are tired-
looking travellers staring at their smartphones. When I step off the underground, others are navigating the
platform, eyes still fixed on their screens. Most of them will spend the rest of their day checking their messages
and the latest news updates or keeping up on celebrity gossip.

2
There's no doubt that the smartphone has changed our lives significantly. For most of the twentieth century,
the telephone changed little. It only allowed us to talk to people over long distances and, later, send text
messages to them. The smartphone, however, changed all of that by adding features such as cameras, GPS and
sophisticated computer technology. They are multi-purpose tools, whose uses are only limited by the
imaginations of computer programmers. If you're lost, your phone will help you find your way. If you're feeling
lonely, it will help you find the perfect friend. You can even do your shopping on it, without leaving the comfort
of your kitchen. The problem is that we've become so dependent on this technology that we've failed to notice
the dangers.

3
What worries me most is that we are now more interested in our smartphones than in the people around us.
How many of us check our phones before we've even said 'good morning' to our families? How many of us are
checking our friends' online profiles when we could be talking to them? Instead of actually
talking to people, we send them three-word messages or emojis. One advantage of the telephone was that it
helped us become more communicative. Smartphones, on the other hand, have limited the way we
communicate with others.

4
What about work? Surely, smartphones have made us more efficient in our jobs? After all, we can send and
receive emails at any time, organise our schedules and make sure we don't miss an important call. That's great
for our companies, but not so great for us or our families. In the past, when we finished work, we would go
home and forget about it. Nowadays, smartphones mean many people take their work home with them so there
is less time to relax. Apart from making you more tired, this can have a negative effect on your personal
relationships, with more arguments and misunderstandings.

5
But smartphones are fantastic for knowing what's going on in the world, right? Well, that's true to a certain
extent. In the past, we used to rely on papers or television and radio for our news. Sometimes, you had to wait
for a whole day before hearing the latest updates. However, the online newspapers and social networks which
we use nowadays are constantly updated. If there's an earthquake on an island on the other side of the world,
we know about it in minutes. But can we really trust the social networks for our news? Were the reporters on
the island when the earthquake happened? Or were they just repeating a story that they'd seen on another
social network?

I'm not trying to say that the smartphone was a bad invention. I couldn't imagine not being able to search for a
recipe or share my photos with my family and friends. However, I strongly believe that we need to understand
the risks related to their use. We should ask ourselves whether working longer hours or having fewer 'real'
conversations is a good thing. If we disagree, then we must think carefully about the way we use our
smartphones.
