SMARTPHONE: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES Many people today have a smartphone like an iPhone or a Samsung. Today there are milions of phones around the world, so it’s impossible to find a person without a smartphone. But is it a great invention? I think there are both advantages and disadvantages. The first advantage is that we are always connected each other. Infact we can chat or send a photo every moment. For example we can share a special situation in real time with other people through social networks. Secondly, people can create new bigger networks that before smartphone’s age they can’t make. This is really important in the working life. Thirdly, we keep in touch with many people, also old school classmates, and this was very difficult in the past. But on the other hand, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, people spend more time texting or sharing things on the social networks. According to scientific surveys, many children are getting less sociable because they spend less time talking to each other. Secondly, people spend less time doing more creative things like reading or spending time outdoors. Especially children prefer playing with their tablet and smartphone instead of playing football or something. In conclusion, this new electronic device is one of the greatest invention of our days. In my opinion today it’s unrealistic that a few people refuse this technological revolution because the advantages are far too important. But we should just learn to turn the smartphone off when we spend time with our family or other people. And also we should educate children how use this device and teach them at staying with other people. In fact if children spend all time using electronic device they will not able to chat with other people and also to stay in the modern community. According to scientific research, they eventually might have anxiety disorders and other psychiatrich disorders.
