This week we talked about internet addiction in the class, but what about cell phone addiction? These days I've noticed that many people around me can't take their eyes off on their cell phones. Some of them talk to their lovers, some of them can't stop texting with their friends, and some of them play games! Of course it's very normal to do such things with mobile phones but if they are doing this continuously, then there's a problem. For instance, during a get-together among friends, it's more than just possible to see %70 of them to use their phones at the same time and not to talk about something together during that reunion. Or an example from my own experience, while you are sitting together with a friend of yours who is also an addict, she may not be able to notice that you are gone for a couple of minutes as she is so busy with her game!
And what about those businessmen? They are nothing without their phones! I'm sure they feel lost when they forget their cell phones at home or something. Also it's very likely for every kid that can talk to ask for a mobile phone from their parents. And I think in the very very near future, all those kids will have one, unfortunately...
And the reason? I guess we just don't know how to communicate anymore because we have so much things to do on our owns, and we don't think that we need such things. We've just forgotten how to talk, how to touch, what to feel. And it's all thanks to(!) the technology.
