Negative Impacts Of Smartphones On Students
The smartphone has really made life easier. With the help of smartphones, we can easily simplify our tasks. But the thing is, technology always has it good sides and down sides. So using smartphones still has some negative impacts on students. Things they were once accustomed to, may now even been forgetten. Depending on how smartphones are used, if it is either helping or harming.

Smartphones have really reduced socialisation. This form of technology has killed some relationships. Some prefer texting with friends on social media than spending time together. When you go to a family reunion or get together, you find everyone using his or her phone.

Some persons cannot really spell words completely anymore because of smartphones. This is because they may use abbreviations or slangs when texting. Others use some words like "yhu" or "u" instead of "you", while writing in schools. In recent statistics carried out in schools in my country, smartphones accounted for some the failure in English language. Other languages are not exempted too, because it affects all too.
Time spent reading textbooks is diminishing as the day goes by. Many young ones (not only young ones, even adults) are more concerned about using their smartphones. They would rather play around on social media than read educative blogs or news. Only a few try to put their smartphones to good use.

Doing simple mathematics is now difficult for some people. Someone wants to know the product of 432 and 2, he heads over to the calculator app and input the values. This affects students while in school, because not every examination that calcult or is allowed.
Do not get me wrong I'm not saying using smartphones is bad or something. I'm a lover of technology. I even support "Social Media For Good" - A movement that shows how everyone can benefit from the proper usage of social media. I'm just trying to say some ills smartphones may have caused. I will like to hear your opinions. I am open to criticism.
Watching movies is not necessarily a bad thing. I've seen some entertaining movies this year. This article can serve as a guide on how to download latest nollywood movies. That said, there's is a need for moderation while indulging.
Overindulgence can result in reduce performance in school and work. It has also been clinically proven to cause depression.

Prince ae once shared,
I asked a friend the other day,
"Let's meet up face to face."
And said, "Alright. What time you wanna Skype?"
I responded with omg, srs, and then a bunch of smh's
And realized what about me?
Do I not have the patience to have conversation without abbreviation?
This is the generation of media over stimulationI.
imagine a world where we smile when we have low batteries
Cause that will mean we'll be one bar closer - to humanity.
