Post 6- Describing a gadget

The technology is a topic very important that concern all of us as species. The societies in nowadays works according to this construct. Almost everything that is surrounding us has technology on it, so basically we can’t escape of it. For example, we have smartphones that help us to communicate with other people, to access to internet, to have social media, to look for information, to watch programs and movies, among others.

But is this a good thing or a bad thing? For me using a smartphone is not so bad, but it turns bad when the hours that we use this device overtake the limit of the health of ourselves.

When you cross this limit you can have several consequences in a physical and psychological level. There are cases of people that have a phobia that doesn’t allow them to stop the use of the cellphone. This is called “nomophobia” (no- mobile- phone- phobia), and according to WHO (world health organization) almost the 66% of the people in the world have it.

This phobia causes that people change their attitudes; they start to feel very dependent on this little gadget, they can´t go out of his house or go to the bathroom without it and their relation with others start to decrease, because they don’t even communicate in a normal way.

As a conclusion, the use of cellphones is good to a certain point, because it has negative consequences in every individual. So the ideal is using it in a moderate way. We can´t let that this device start to control our lives.
