When we were children, we spent most of our time with our parents. We wrote letters to our loved ones to show our love and care. But in this technological revolution, everything has changed. Letters have become messages, and gossip has become chats. Unlimited talks become hai and bye. Even though smartphones have a lot of useful features, it has some bad too. Using smartphones too much is not good. Here are the top 10 reasons why you should not use your phone often.
1. Distraction
The smartphone is the most significant distraction in our life. When we decide to study or do something and try to focus on ourselves, a notification sound from the phone can destroy all the focus. Our full concentration will be on smartphones and not on studies, jobs, or family.
2. Wastage of Time
We spend most of our time on our smartphones. Instead of playing games, if we start to read books or learn something, it will be beneficial. Time is precious. We can’t get waste time again. That’s why there is a famous proverb; Time is Gold. We waste our time and study at the last minute for our exams. So smartphones are a waste of time.
3. Waste of Money
We can’t earn money quickly. Our parents do a lot of hard work to make each penny. We have to spend a bulk amount on buying smartphones. Additionally, we must purchase air dopes, sim cards, back pouch, temper glasses, and more unnecessary things. We have to waste our valuable money here. We are not only wasting money and also the hard work of our parents.
4. Health Problems
Smartphones make us lazy. We will sit on the same cozy sofa the whole day. The radiation from the phone is not suitable for health. You won’t believe that smartphones can cause these severe diseases. If we use smartphones often, the radiation will cause fatigue, male infertility, cancer, brain damage, and tumor. Further, smartphones can affect mental health too.
5. Loss of Interaction
Have you ever spent at least one hour with your mom after using your phone? When we started using the phone, we forgot the whole world and started sinking into it. We forgot to interact with people. Smartphones made us introverts. Everyone can chat nicely but can’t speak when they meet. People sit nearby each other, but instead of interacting with the other person, they start to talk with someone else on their phones.
6. Hinders Sleep
Sleep is essential for a healthy life. Usually, we have to sleep at least 6-8 hours to maintain good health. But we started to watch Netflix overnight. If we don’t sleep properly, it would lead to many health and mental problems. Lack of sleep can cause high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, heart problems, and also depression.
7. Accidents
As said above, the phone distracts us entirely, and we don’t even know what is happening around us. Imagine you are sinking into the phone while crossing the road; there is a car coming too fast. The car driver is also using his phone while driving. What if he doesn’t see you? Addiction to smartphones is the reason for most accidents nowadays.
8. Privacy
Once upon a time, we went to photo studios to get our photos. After a decade, we had cameras. Now we have this phone. We take a lot of pictures and videos every day. We also have some private photos. If a stalker steals your phone, what if he sees all your private pictures and starts to blackmail you? Anyone who knows your passwords can see your photos.
9. Cyber Crimes
In this digital world don’t have to carry a wallet. We can do everything with our mobile. We can book movie tickets, make payments, recharge, and make money transfers. These features may be made our life easier but also has the risk of cyber crimes. Nowadays, hackers and their crimes are increasing day by day. The data on our phones is not safe.
10. Dependency
We are phones dented on our smartphones. When we keep alarms, we lose the practice of waking early; when we started to search everything on websites, we lost the habit of reading books when we started using a calculator, we even don’t know what 2+2 is. We rely on our phones too much. We can’t do anything without the phone.
