Do you agree or disagree that people should use smart phone in their daily life?

 

In my opinion, I disagree that people should use smart phone in their daily life. I think this is true for two reasons.

 

First of all, check this article The reasons do not use smart phone.

Now, I am sure you have a general idea how smart phone ruin our life.

Then one reason why I disagree with the topic is because of social relationships. For example, I am a graduate student at National ooxx university in Kaohsiung, a major port city in the south of Taiwan. I have a smart phone and I use it to contact or chat with my friends every day. Although smart phone has become a popular tool in this era, there are still have some issues arround us. On Sunday morning at 10:00 am, I often have brunch with my friend Toro. Toro is a 22-years-old man and he cannot live with out his smart phone. Everytime when we having our favorite food such as fried chicken, he just cannot stop to check his smart phone like he keep to touch his smart phone every 30 seconds. This seems too insane if you are dinning with others and you do not focus on others. Also, this is not respectful in my country. One day I ask Toro that "Are you having bruch with me or your smart phone?". Interestingly, he says that "hey dude, you are not hot girl or my girlfriend, so I think it is ok". On the other hand, when he dating with his girlfriend, he just turn off the functions such as wifi, 3G and vocie notification to vibration because he is afraid that his girlfriend will think he is not respect to their dating. See, this is how a girl has a bigger influence than a smart phone that we called "Girl Friend Dog" in our country. The most ridiculous is that he cannot sleep when the network function is turning off on his smart phone. Thus, you can see people nowaday just slipping their smart phone even if they hanging out with someone at the moment and consequently people are not close anymore.

 

Another reason why I think smart phone is not good for people is related to studying habit. Take me as an example again. I was a 17-years-old high school student at xxoo High School in Taipei, a capital city in the north of Taiwan. I did not have a smart phone before and I have a English study group. My English study group has four members: John, Mary, Kin, and me. After school around 5:00 pm on Fridays, I went to McDonalds because that was where our study group met. I ordered a number meal; the number one meal has a Big Mac, French fries, and a large coke. Then I went to second floor, sat by the window, put my personal stuff such as books at our favorite table, and enjoyed the views of people walking on the street. I had my favorite food first and waited other members at the same time. After finished my dinner, we started to practice English Speaking. In that section, everyone were required to answer an opening question related to our daily life like "Where do you like to travel when you have free time? Please give an example and provide some details." For instance, we usually had brainstoming to figure out some interesting topics if someone could not give their talk. After practiced a lot of time, we were not only enhanced our English ability but also becoming good friends. Nevertheless, since smart phone came to the real world, people were not talk or discuss with others much as in the past. Every time when I participated our English meeting with my old friends, they were just slipped and keep checked Facebook on their smart phones. Moreover, we did not have much communication because if you had some problems like how to spell "apple", Mary just asked her smart phone instead discussed with us. Worstly, smart phone seemed to be an necessary item to my friends. They just watched their smart phone every time in our meeting. Therefore, I think that meeting is unnecessary and as a result our English study group is dismissed.

 

In conclusion, although smartphone has some advantages and is more convenient in our life, people should spend more time with our friends and families. That is why I support people should not rely on smart phone. If you really need a smart phone, please turn off the network functions to be respectable when you hanging out.
