Once there was a time when we have to send letters through post office to send massages to our near and dear once. We have to use calculator for calculating mathematical results. Cameras were expensive and they don’t had the clarity as the modern day cameras have. For listening to songs we had to buy expensive music players and music records. Also, news had to reach to us only after a gap of some hours as it was not possible to print and dispatch newspapers in real time. Then things changed. A new device was invented. Initially it was only meant for one to one communication. Now it has improved a lot and it can do any work which require many gadgets and equipment.

This device is none other than the smartphone. It has replaced post offices, radio, television, calculator, wrist watch, compass, note book, personal computers, cyber cafes, newspapers etc. for many of us. All these things have been subsumed in a miraculous little gadget which can fit in our pocket and in hand when we use it. We can browse internet on it, play game on it, send and receive emails and pay and receive money through it. It has literally revolutionized our world. Most of us are not able to live happily without our smartphones. Its merits are so great that is has become indispensable for us.

However, there are lots of harmful things as well. We have very cheap internet in India. So, lots of people are always busy with their smartphones. They are always online and spend too much time on phones. They play games or browse internet or watching movies, videos or are engaged in social media. It has become an addiction for the youngsters as well as little children. People of all ages are busy with their phones. It is making people sick. They watch porn, semi porn freely on internet which is destroying the mind of the adolescence. Lots of housewives are busy in making vulgar and obscene videos just to get some likes from social media. Little children are so much attached to it that they start crying if they are not given the phone. It is harming their eyes and making them dumb. I have seen lots of people crossing roads while staring continuously on their phone and people use phone while driving. It causes accidents many times. Fake news, propaganda spreading freely on social media platforms. These things are turning people into zombies. So, there must be some restrictions on use of phone. It must be used only when we have any necessary work. Otherwise, it must be kept aside. It has become very necessary to cure people suffering from smartphone addiction.

Thank you and take care. Be wise, be safe, healthy.
