Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 58: Electronic Addiction
Electronic addiction is the excessive use of technology that may lead to problems. I believe that everyone knows when to stop doing a particular thing, but because of addiction, stopping becomes a problem.
When I was growing up, electronics wasn't something so rampant, and everyone wasn't so into it because I wasn't. I started using my first cellphone at the age of 12. That was how strict my parents were. Although I could count how many students in my class had a cellphone because they were just a few.
Electronics advances over time, and as it advances, a lot of developments are imbibed; users crave more and more, but this has over time become an unending circle that can destroy one's life socially.
I had been addicted to electronics some years back that I lost a very serious relationship I had. The complaint kept coming, but I wasn't listening to it because my phone was my life. I didn't have the time to listen, talk, or even help when I'm needed.
I was glued to my cellphone as if my life was dependent on it. I lost focus in life; in everything social activities, I will always be in my house with my phone.
I learned my lessons the hard way, and now I have time for everything. I don't let electronics jeopardize my relationships or activities. Sometimes when I go to church, I see a lot of people handling their phones, either playing games or chatting, and I wonder why they came to church.
Nothing is worse than addiction. It means you can't breathe without it. Ah, I can breathe without electronics for as long as possible. When I feel I have exhausted my limit for the day, I go off and rest to avoid some health challenges. We may not know some side effects of electronic additions, but let me share some with us here...

Hello dear lady.
It's good that now you have time for everything and don't let yourself be defeated by technology.
The truth is that I don't understand why they go to church if they are playing on the phone, because I thought they were looking for verses but not because most of them spend their time playing.
Thanks for the invitation.
Many blessings..🙏🏻

MODs Comment/Recommendation:
Amazing, It's good to know that there are people like you who knows the limit to electronics addiction. Just like you said even in church where they are supposed to concentrate you will see them busy with their phone. May God help us because it's not easy.
