Hey! The smartphone is now a technically advanced device that has a lot of processing power and has a huge number of functions. Are you reading this message from your smartphone? According to the data, as of January 2021, the number of smartphone users was 5.22 billion. The number of people who use smartphones to surf the Internet continues to grow. At the moment, the population of the earth is 7 830 458 560 people.
This way we can get the number of smartphone users. Today, around the world, 66.6% of the population uses smartphones. In fact, this number is very negative in religious terms. But we are only interested in statistics. Obviously, most of the world's population uses smartphones, but there are many people who do not use smartphones at all in their daily lives.
Due to the growing popularity of smartphones, an epidemic of a new disease "no mobile phobia" (nomophobia) began. You can see people with smartphones everywhere: in a cafe, subway, shopping center and even crossing a busy street. They are like Internet zombies, they are enthusiastic about looking into their smartphone and most often they type messages on social networks.
Every year in the world the action "Day without a phone" is held. Doctors believe smartphone addiction is dangerous. For this reason, one day without a smartphone is equivalent to a day without a car or cigarettes. Smartphone users are asked to stop using mobile devices or reduce their use for at least one day. But the action is not popular.
Doctors say nomophobia is inherently akin to other addictions such as alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling, or shopaholism. In most cases, a person with a smartphone cannot imagine life without their electronic friend. Many people compensate for psychological problems. For example, they want to maintain constant contact with their friends or loved ones. An interesting fact is that about 66% of smartphone owners suffer from this disease.
But most people believe that they have no smartphone addiction. They consider it a harmless habit that does not affect their daily life. But this is far from the case, because the impact of nomophobia on people's lives is significant.
Is it bad to love your smartphone?
I think this is not bad, but not good either. I would call this process natural for humanity. The new generation is becoming addicted to modern technologies. But this is similar to how the older generation was addicted to books or magazines. Parents are happy to buy smartphones or tablets for their children, because they want their children to be the same as other children. I think this is a trend and it is growing.
Ultimately, we ourselves decide whether to use the smartphone or not. I am a proponent of progress and therefore I see in smartphones a new round of ecology of mankind. We are addicted to our gadgets, but this addiction brings more benefits than problems.
The symbiosis of people and smartphones is becoming more relevant. We get the most out of technology. Today, every smartphone owner can become a link in a new Internet evolution - decentralization.
Smartphone means of global decentralization
Smartphones are directly connected to the Internet. Since the world is ruled by a pandemic, people left without work are looking for alternative ways to make money. The cryptocurrency trend is forcing people to explore the world of decentralization. People see that the current world system has shown its incapacity, which means it is necessary to keep up with the times.
We see that the false god, whom I call Bitcoin, has become a means of making money. His dominance will soon end. We live in a time when a new world order is being established. The time when decentralization became the foundation of the Internet world.
I wish you to be on the wave of the current trend and be healthy!
