“Iphones” one of the most popular smart phones ever invented and ever hit to the market globally. This smartphone has everything that you need from planners, camera, video, apps, access to face book, phone and so on. This is the ultimate “user-friendly” phone which basically everything is in this 64 GB (depends which one you buy) to store memory. I say great phone, but makes you not as interactive, stupid and not communicative which I’ll explain in a later. I’m not going just single out the iphone, but all smart phones can cause the same problem. “I got a Droid, Blackberry, Evo and so forth. My phone is a basic flip phone by Samsung, I’m not going to spend $300 on a phone which I’m not going to use. I’ll admit that I did have a Android G1 and Blackberry, but I felt that I was not satisfied and also I did not want to spend $30 on the internet when I’m basically on the internet almost every day. The internet gets boring or nothing interests me. I decided just to have a basic flip phone.
Several months ago, I have seen the “cell phone side effects” which can really crush someone’s social skills, parenting, literature and concept. I have heard that people with smart phones are the ones who usually get “laid”. Sure, I have experienced that people really have poor social skills when it comes to their cell phones which it is a major turn off. I have dated a few women, but they would constantly text, look at their phone, they do not communicate well and so on. Even they want to continue talking to me, well fix your skills first then we’ll talk. I do not want to be overruled but a stupid cell phone. I had the same experienced with my male friends which where they totally concentrate on their smart phones, so I really get upset. Today’s technology is awesome, but it seems that people are starting to get lost when it comes to their life. They say cell phone is their life, I love it when someone breaks their iphone or smartphone it is hilarious, these people dread that their smart phone screen is broken or does not work. Many people would dispute on where I am going with this blog, do not get me wrong, but there are people who know how to balance their life with a cell phone or their social skills just suck!
When I had a smartphone I did not constantly text on my cell phone and interrupt/stop people from finishing their conversation, texting in front of their face that is not the way to go. If I am out with a friend or someone I am there to talk to them no one else, but that does not fit the profile. What really gets me is when parents are on their smart phone and they have their kids running around without supervision. Since I work in a hospitality sector, I see parents at the play area and they are on their smart phones. They let their kids wonder around at a store, plaza, or at a shopping vicinity they are on their smart phone while their 3 or 5 year old are going down the escalator by themselves. This is where my job is appreciated; I go make an effort to stop the kid from going down the descending escalators then advise the parent to watch his/her kid almost running down the escalators without supervision. Smart phone or your son/daughter, no excuses watch your kids. Smart phones can really hurt someone’s skills.
I rather do things in hardcopy; for example, a planner, address book or filing paper copies. I do not rely on technology. I have a balance on both but I prefer hard copies. I do not have to panic when my phone hits the floor then all my files get erased. Once I have a hard copy then if I want to then I’ll insert electronically, if necessary. Later on in my life time, I’ll buy a reliable technical source then store my files in a secure thumb drive or notebook. Whatever I have accessed I want my future kids to have from future outlines to make a resumes and other documents. I want my future kids not to rely heavily on technology on when as necessary. Probably by the time I die, that generation probably will heavily rely on technology. So I will have hard copies and technical source for my kids. There are plus and minus when people use their smartphones, because the phones can make people dumber (in my opinion) there is no competition in the job market, because of the “smart phone side effects”. Two things help me out greatly, young adults (18-26) who party and suffer the “smart phone effects” separates the competition in the job market.
