It has been widely noted that in our contemporary society, people cannot live without cutting-edge

devices such as smartphones. There are certain causes of this development and a wide range of
influences that people might encounter if we over rely on it.
There are certain rationales why people overuse smartphones. First and foremost, it is due to the fact
that smartphones are one of many cutting-edge tools available today that can help people gain
access to social network for entertainment purposes. In the past, for example, when technology was
limited, people tend to chose traditional activities for entertainment; however, nowadays, people prefer
to use smartphones to surf the Internet or play video games. Another justification for this is because
smartphones are the most prevailing mode of communication in our modern world. We used to use
traditional modes of communication, such as letters to stay in touch with friends and family, but thanks
to advanced technology, people now use smartphones to replace those out-of-date modes, which is
even more convenient for users because it saves time and money.
As people's reliance on smartphones grows at an alarming rate, several related consequences can be
anticipated. The main issue is that excessive smartphones use can pose a menace to people’s
physical and mental well-being. For instance, being glued to smartphones for a long time can lead to
a sedentary life style, which can result in some severe illness like diabetes or obesity, as well as
symptoms such as fatigue or dizziness. Another negative impact of this is that overreliance on
smartphones will diminish the capability to think creatively. This is because there are a large number
of references on the network platform so that people can come and use it freely but if they rely on if
too much, the consequences are unpredictable.
In conclusion, there are certain disadvantageous effects that smartphones bring in if we do not
manage to use it properly.
