Don't let the phone be a blindfold to life.

in Hive Learners13 days ago

It is a undeniable fact that mobile phone has becomes an integral part of our life. From waking up to mobile phone alarm to going to bed with some music, mobile becomes an insepersble part of our daily life. We carry it all the time, we hooked onto the screen, while walking, while shopping and many a times even at driving. The addiction is causing a lot of issue and people are forgetting about the real social life that exists outside the mobile world.

I remember, last year, we had some major cell tower issue for a day and the entire village came out of their home and enjoyed social life. Kids played cricket, adults had some talk etc it was like the entire village came alive. Such was our lifestyle since ancient times, when people used to meet each other and spend time together. But with the advent of technologies, people are more addicted to the mobile or computer screen. They have their virtual world of social media and many glamourous social media sites for their fun and entertainment. People assuming them to be real slowly going away from the actual social life. It happens many a times that many prefer mobile over real world. Even when we have family member around, we spend most of the time on mobile world rather than talking to each other. I guess this every home story.

Every moment spent on your phone steals the richness of real life experiences.

The craze is such that, mobile is more important for then any family function. It was during Holi this year that I saw my nephew 7 years old kid was busy watching cartoon on mobile, whereas, everyone was busy playing with colors. The little kid was scared of colors. While it was fun for us. It is important that we should avoid getting into a practice, where mobile is taking over personal as well as social life.

Many people says that limiting mobile phone during family events can improve the quality of conversations and help kids be more physically active. It helps in familirising with everyone. However, others say that banning kids from having smartphones can miss the point, as they can help children build friendships outside of the home. But in truth, it is important to have a family relation than outside relation. In my opinion, when we are attending any family function or get together, we must leave the mobile away and enjoy our personal life. It allows us to

  • Quality conversation : Some say that in the absence of mobile the quality of conversations is significantly much better and people able to communicate better without any distraction.

  • Physical activity : Less cell phone use can mean less screen time, which can help kids get outdoors and be more physically active. They can enjoy the function and learn some old tradition and culture.

  • Interaction: Some say that family events are supposed to be a time to interact with one another and enjoy each other's presents. This helps in building a string bonding and a circle of known peoole.

I think there could be a never ending argument. People have their own take on the usage of phone or banning the phone. But one point could be made that teaching kids about screen free time makes sense, and might require rules based enforcement at some point. Too much screen time can lead to mental and physical health issues. Especially we could garm our screen. It all comes down to the parents to keep a check on the mobile usage and never allow the kids to get addicted. A break is must and we must teach them about tye real world and the real friends and family that exists for all of us.

Peace!

Many people are addicted to the phone, they even have lunch with it, they walk around with it.... they look like zombies. And it cancels out a lot in life, personal relationships, face to face for example.

It's really concerning and sad to see everyone staring at mobile screens all the time. Whether in buses, metro, restaurant and even in lifts, people are so occupied with phones. There is so much to cherish beyond the digital world. It's a Addiction. !PIZZA 🙏

simply an addiction that is getting head over heel. earlier we used to enjoy lookin at others with different activity, but whereever you are, you will find each one of us, simply looking at the scree, no matter what is going arround,....simply irresisitible.

It is a hard fact that mobile phones are oxygen in this era. We can't keep ourselves away from them. No doubt, mobile screening is doing more harm now than good. There is a need to understand the dangerous aspects of mobile addiction. The cool environment of ancient times was evident during the tower issue in your area that people were more friendly in that time. I agreed, mobile excessive consumption has drained us Quality Conversation and family get-together.

the situation is getting pretty worst, with parent more responsible in making these. when they unable to control the kids, they simply handover the phones to their kids, and this way the kids exposed to the gadgets world and make their life line. instead of spending personal time, parents making their kids life pretty toxic

True, phones have become a basic need nowadays.
