Dangers of Smartphone Usage

We live in a world filled with technology, innovation, and digital gadgets. All of these gadgets can be very useful as well as very destructive. When used correctly they can allow you to do many things from the comfort of your own home. Smartphones are particularly useful because they can allow you to be connected to the digital world from a small handheld device. Yet, with this usefulness comes addiction and neglect. Since it is so convenient, you may find yourself looking at Facebook, Twitter, or surfing the Internet on a constant basis. Instead of having a conversation with friends in person, you may find yourself texting or messaging people you may know through your phone. This new digital world has altered our world and unless we balance digital interaction, we may find ourselves neglecting loved ones, opting to interact through digital media instead of in person. We must learn to balance our lives with this new digital interaction.
