Effect of Smartphones: Positives and Negative
Introduction
Smartphones are very convenient devices, allowing us to do many things faster and easier than ever before. In the past, we had to wait until our hands were free before doing something on our computers or laptops. Nowadays, though, there are smartphones that allow us to do things anywhere we go: from reading news and blogs to banking through mobile apps and simply taking pictures with their cameras. Because of this convenience factor, smartphones can be considered positive for our lives: we can stay connected with friends via Social Media applications such as Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, etc., get information from websites like Google Translate when traveling abroad, or read articles on Wikipedia while waiting for an appointment at the doctor’s office.
Learn Anywhere
As a student, you may find yourself at the library or in your room with nothing to do. You’ll have time on your hands, so why not use it to learn? You can access information at any time and use the internet to solve problems and find solutions.
The internet is also an excellent place to get help with homework assignments; ask friends what they did when they were studying for their exams!
Carry Info Anywhere
The smartphone has become a very important part of our lives. You can carry information in your pocket, and you can use it to take pictures, record videos, play games and listen to music. It’s also great for reading books!
- stay connected
- Stay connected to your friends and family.
- Stay connected to work.
- Stay connected with the world.
- Stay in touch with the internet, social media, and entertainment apps like Snapchat and Instagram that you use regularly on your smartphone. You can also stay up-to-date with news from around the world by reading articles from major publications such as The New York Times or BuzzFeed News on your phone!
Mobile Banking
Mobile banking is one of the most convenient ways to manage your finances on the go. You can use it to pay bills, check your balance and account details, or even transfer money between accounts. With mobile-banking services like Google Pay or Apple Pay you can also send or receive payments from friends and family who might not have bank accounts themselves—and with no paper trail involved!
If you’re worried about security when using mobile banking apps then don’t be: there are encryption protocols in place that ensure data privacy throughout its transmission over cellular networks (which make up 99% of all internet traffic).
Access to Social Media
Social media is a great way to stay in touch with friends, family, and others. It can also be very addictive. If you have a social media account and see someone posting something about an event, it’s easy to follow the link and find out more about it. This is especially true when there’s an important news story happening or if there’s something going on nearby that people need to know about.
Social media has become one of the most popular ways for people to stay informed about events around the world because they post updates as soon as they happen (or even before). People love being able to see what other people are doing at any given moment without having to travel all over town trying different locations themselves!
Negative Effects: Addiction
There are several negative effects of smartphones. First, they can be addictive. The first step in overcoming any addiction is recognizing it and seeking help. If you think your smartphone use is excessive or harmful to your health, there are ways to reduce its impact on your life. You can try these tips:
- Turn off notifications for apps that don’t require them (Facebook Messenger does not) so that you don’t get distracted by new messages from friends or acquaintances who just want to chat with you now and then—and don’t forget about social media altogether!
- Set limits for how much time each day/week/monthly will be spent online; this will help keep things balanced between work-related tasks at home which require more concentration than playing games on social media sites like Facebook Messenger where users spend the most time interacting with others online rather than doing actual work such as reading emails sent by coworkers instead of writing them themselves.
Stress on Eyes
You may have heard that smartphones are bad for your eyes. The truth is, they can be if you use them in the wrong way. Smartphones have a blue light that uses up energy from your body and causes damage to your retina, which can lead to:
- Migraines
- Eye strain and dry eye syndrome (also known as “digital eye strain”)
- Macular degeneration—a condition where a person’s central vision starts to deteriorate.
Harmful for children (Continuously Involved)
As the usage of smartphones has increased, there are many concerns about their effect on children. Smartphones are expensive and difficult for children to afford. They also need parents’ approval before they can use them, which makes it more difficult for children to get access to them on their own. In addition, because smartphones require more supervision than other devices such as tablets or video game consoles, many parents feel that they are not mature enough to responsibly handle them in front of their younger siblings or friends who may be watching them play with them. This can lead some kids into developing addictions that make it hard for them to leave behind this addiction once they grow up (although these addictions may vary depending on what type of smartphone you have).
In addition, since these devices contain so much information about ourselves and our surroundings (and sometimes even other people), if we do not want others to know certain things about us then having one might make those things harder – especially if someone else knows something important about your life! For example: If I had seen my friend’s messages before reading them myself then my friend would still know how much fun we were having outside without me having said anything yet.
More Privacy Risks than Computers and Laptops
While many people think of their smartphone as a private space, it’s actually something else entirely. Smartphones are vulnerable to hacking and surveillance by third parties and can be used as a way to track users or spy on them. This is especially true when you consider that smartphones have access to so much personal information: location data and text messages are just two examples of what makes them such valuable targets for hackers.
If you want your phone to be secure from prying eyes—and if you want to protect yourself against any possible privacy violations—you should only use an app when necessary; never leave sensitive information like passwords lying around on your device or in plain sight anywhere where others might see it (including texts).
Smartphones are very convenient, but it is important to be aware of their impact.
Smartphones are very convenient, but it is important to be aware of their impact. Children who have been exposed to smartphones may have a higher risk of anxiety and depression, which could lead them to become less academically successful later in life. Parents should take steps to limit how much time their children spend on these devices and encourage them to spend more time outdoors instead.
Conclusion
We have seen that smartphones are useful but also have some negative effects. They can cause addiction and stress in the eyes, but they give us access to many things we would not otherwise be able to have. It is important to balance the positive and negative aspects of this technology.
