Smartphones.

Wherever you are, be it in the train or bus or even walking to somewhere, there will always be someone holding onto a phone. No, not just a phone; a smartphone. Take for example, the iphone. I mean come on, iphone is practically taking over our society. How could one small gadget have a large impact on someone's lives? Simple. The influence of technology.

Smartphones are no ordinary phones. They go beyond that. Whether you’re researching news to predict the stock market or looking for the shoes to match with your top, you’ll find it on the net.Many smartphones allow us to sync with our desktop computer. This means you can store, view, and work on documents directly on your handheld. You can also receive and respond to emails as they arrive in your inbox on your home computer with real-time push email. With the large memory space stored in your smartphone, tonnes of applications are eveready just to fulfill your entertainment pleasure. Even i am impressed by the functions of a smartphone.

But despite the oh so advanced in technolgy of the smartphone, it has basically brainwashed everyone in the basics of a phone. Not to mention, it has also brainwashed everyone out of their etiquette in reality. Nowadays, the smartphone has been overused. Be it at home, journey to sch or even in school, you can see people fixating their eyes on their prized possession; their smartphones. Because of that, they don't realise how they are affecting themselves and others. Take for example; you're in a train, engrossed in the latest application you've just downloaded. Instead of giving ways to passengers who wants to alight, they had to make a whole round just because of someone who pays more attention to a smartphone rather than to the surroundings. Also, it is rude to use your smartphones during conversations. You are not just being rude, but you are being anti-social. True enough?

There may be no way to change one's perspective of a smartphone but there's always a solution to everything.
