Are smartphones really as we think they are?

On one hand, they are sometimes labour-saving gadgets because they help us, for instance, with tourist information instead of having to go to the tourist office in order to obtain it. Or you can quickly find the street that you are looking for. What's more, you can send a message or get in contact with any person around the world, simply by having one of these smartphones. In fact, you can find a new job by downloading a job application app.

But smartphones are more than that. Some people protest because their boss or parents have crossed the private line and they feel hounded all the time. Even if these new phones are helpful, users think that they are time-cosuming devices. In some cases even worse, because users said that they are like a 'phoneaholic' for using it all day.

New technologies like smartphones give us a huge range of new possibilities but we have to use them in a cautious way.

In my opinión, smartphones are helpful and useful but to live in the real world is important and also more helpful.
