Smart Phones Are Indeed Getting the Best of Our Human Relationships

The Jonathan Ross Show
The Jonathan Ross Show

From TopVincent.Com

Last week, I was at ITV studios in London as one of the many Londoners who made up a rousing audience for ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’.

Apart from the excitement that filled the auditorium when actor-Liam Neeson, Peter Andre, Oscar Award winner-Goldie Hawn and Danny Dyer were drilled by Ross, I left the recording of the Show with more than a great performance from Pixie Lott.

During one of the interviews, Jonathan Ross talked about how many of us cannot let go our smart phones, even when we are at dinners with friends or family. Interestingly, he pointed himself out as one of such people who cannot let go their phones—even for few minutes.

The guest on the Show at the time-Danny Dyer quickly noted that ‘our smart phones’ are taking over our relationships. He added that, because many people are unable to leave their smart phones for more than 30 minutes; his friends have come out with this ‘troubling idea’ of collecting all phones and putting them on a table when they go out for dinners or drinks. And that, whoever picks his phone first from the table pays the bill of the evening …

Jonathan Ross jumped in to say, he would have to always pay the bill if he was in the circle since he can’t let his phone off his sight—something the Mrs detest.

My point is; if you thought you were the only person who has noticed how people are glued to their phones, paving way for technology to define our relationships, then you are wrong—most people are aware of this just that they cannot seem to let go the bad habit.

Even if a person is able to force himself to disconnect from his mobile phone, you will catch see the same person scrolling through things on the ipad.

LIFESTYLE: How Are You Using Your Smartphone, And How Is It Affecting Your Personal Life?

blank

People are spending more time with their mobile devices than they are spending with print media. Adults spending more time with their mobile devices have increased astronomically since 2008.

According to a New York based market research firm, the average adult consumer spends 120 minutes a day on their mobile device, while they spend only 44 minutes with print media, 26 minutes with newspapers, and 18 minutes with magazines.

For those who spend 120 minutes on their smartphones, about 25 minutes is used on browsing the web, 17 minutes on social networking, 13 minutes playing games, and 16 minutes listening to music.

Let’s face it; smart phones are quickly replacing most of our gadgets such as alarm clocks, laptops, and digital cameras.  I don’t remember the last time I used an actual alarm clock. I have been using my phone to set my alarms for years now.  Smartphones are even now replacing books, watches, cd players, radio. One can get almost any information from a smartphone by the touch of a button.  I wake up in the morning, and the first thing I do is to check the weather on my smartphone.

Some smartphones allow you to check for flight delays and traffic.  I am currently in possession of the Samsung Galaxy S3, and I must say I love the phone to death.  It performs a whole lot more than I actually know since I have not taken the time to fully read my manual.   Even with the little I know about my phone, I use it as a flashlight, GPS navigator, calculator, a barcode scanner, and many more.  Well, for my age I believe I am doing a pretty good job using my phone.
