A Smartphone is a device
that has not only the same features as a cell phone, but also some characteristics
of a computer; for example, Wi-Fi, a “Microsoft Word” documents editor, and, of
course, the most popular characteristic nowadays, “Whatsapp,” a mobile instant
messenger.
Many people are using this
kind of cell phones because it is more convenient to them, given that these
devices are far lighter than a laptop. On the other hand, they are extremely
addictive; you can notice it by looking for a few seconds at the people around
you on the streets or even in your classroom; people chatting or checking “Facebook”
every two seconds!
Personally, I am not
against these cell phones at all; however, the thing that really bothers me is
the fact that people are becoming more and more oblivious about things that
happen around them; for instance, I saw a girl who got almost hit by a bus
because she was text messaging while she was crossing the street and she did
not realize that the light switched to red.
It is also very
frustrating that you need to tell something to a person, but he or she cannot
hear you because this person is too busy reading what “Twitter” says!
Again, I am totally not against these devices, but you
should keep this in mind: Smartphone’s are not as important as what goes on in
the real world; you must be aware of what happens around you.
