many people nowadays spend a large part of their free time using a smartphone. What do you think is the reason for this? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

During the

last

decade, technology has developed a lot, especially

smartphones

became a crucial part of everyone's life. Most of the time people spend their leisure occasion using

smartphones

. Reasons behind

this

are varied on different individuals. As the coin has two sides,

this

also

has both positive and negative sides. In

this

essay, I would like to discuss in detail the reasons and explain why I believe using a smartphone most of the moment is a negative development.

To begin

with, the reasons individuals become more addicted to

smartphones

are families become nuclear rather than joint families.

This

trend reduced direct communication with others and individuals became more dependent on modern technologies.

Moreover

,

smartphones

help people in various aspects. By using different types of technologies and applications life became easier than before.

For instance

, by using Google Maps society can go anywhere without asking anybody. Despite all the positive aspects, it has become a trend that especially youngsters are more concentrated only on

smartphones

during their leisure time.

This

may lead to developing a gap between the family members

as well as

the close relatives because communication plays a major role in relationships.

Moreover

, with continuous usage of phones health problems may develop.

For example

, eyesight may get affected by prolonged use of phones. In conclusion, in my opinion, everybody should make their leisure time more creative by doing some recreation or by spending occasion with their close ones rather than concentrating only on

smartphones

.

This

may help the individual to maintain both physical and mental health in a good manner.
