We're way too much addictive to our mobiles these days, whenever in the morning commuting, lunch with friends, before sleep, wherever on railways, school, office and whatever occasion like traveling, working, social gathering, you always see people keep playing with their phone - slouching in a bad way with their digital gadget, sometimes they are suffered from sickness with fingers, hands or shoulder. That's how mobile phone influenced us in a negative way.
Never let these mobile gadget to take control your life, especially social life. Try to minimize the bad influence by simply disconnect from electricity life - it can be achieved in many ways.
One of the most effective way - inspired by my man on the moon is to put your smart phone into your drawer. Simply isolated yourself and your phone. It works with me perfectly well cos it stops myself keep slouching to the phone like whatsapp or facebook for no reason. Another efficient way to stop yourself from using too much phone is to go traveling - I know it sounds way too much and not easy to do it daily, but it's another fabulous way to stay away from phones. The point is to engage in some activity which you devoted yourself in like sports, do your hobby which occupy both of your hands like playing piano, hiking, swimming.
Modern people are too obsessive to their phone. I have so much respect to Steve Jobs but the advance of technology of iPhone has a phenomenal impact to our lives in a sense that we couldn't imagine nor realize. This is somehow pathetic to see couples are using smartphone in a romantic candle light dinner instead of talking to each other.
Why does people are so much indulged in the virtual / digital lives like social media? I wish our life is like facebook. Or people mobile shop online too often by Amazon, taobao and too much entertainment can be enjoyed with our phones like games, movie, live video... But are these really more interesting than face-to-face interaction? I really doubt it. This is beyond an argument.
How can we live into a basic, no internet, no work emails, no social media, no mobile phone... Imagine how life can be simple when people have no phones. I beg our lives would be thousands time more happier than now. Let's go back to the essential.
Can we not use our smart phone everyday? Can we shut down our phone for at least one single day? To let yourself to take a little break from technology? You will see how much different your life can be. Trust me, you'll experience the positivity and happiness.
There's no harm and cost to do it. Isn't it?
