However, smartphone have many benefits as well. Firstly smartphones can keep u company. While waiting for some things such as for the train or for a friend, it becomes less of a pain because you can keep yourself entertained by your phone. For example, you can read the news, play games, listen to music or watch a movie. It can make your commute to anywhere more enjoyable. Rather than standing for hours waiting for something to happened, you can use your smartphones to kill time. However, there are problems with this as well, as this will mean that u may spoil your eyesight because you use the smartphone for too long which can be damaging to your eyes. This is bad as your vision will go blur and you have to use glasses which is burden everywhere you go.

however, smartphones have many benefits as well. because they would give us good communication with family and friends, endless apps and web everywhere.
for example, in the past we do not have enough money to use the payphone. but now, u can have endless communication with ur family and friends.

this shows that smartphones are important in our lives as they give us many informations, we can talk to our family and friends in a better way and we can use many apps in one phone.

although smartphones have their disadvantages,there are also advantages such as the ability to keep in contact with friends,family and colleagues through social media apps such as instagram, facebook,google+ and whatsapp.  This allows us to also be more aware of whats going on throughout the whole world.However, by sharing things on social media enables one's posts to be seen all over the world even if their account is private. Nothing on the internet is safe from anyone's invadent. By posting things on social media, strangers can view your photos unknowingly .smartphones aren't just for procrastination they also have the function to create documents,emails and presentations for work or school. However most students would rather procrastinate rather than do their work.

However, smartphones have many benefits as well.

1) Communication Tools
- Smartphones make it much easier for employers and their employees to keep in touch. Beyond simple voice calling, most smartphones support instant messaging across several popular programs, as well as email. Supported social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter can also be used to organize employees for company events and foster communication between departments.

2) Innovation
-
As smartphones evolve, technology evolves to keep pace with them. As technology improves, new functions are added that increase the productivity capabilities of smartphones. Software engineering firms also see a boost in demand, leading to greater job creation. Smartphone manufacturers will also need companies to fabricate their products, leading other companies to increased demand and job creation.

We do a lot of stupid things with our smartphones, like taking millions of selfies or slavishly following the GPS off a bridge. And we often forget that these palm-sized devices pack more computing power than a NASA spaceship (let alone PCs of years past).

But while I like to joke about how smartphones are making us stupider ...they're actually not. Smartphones improve our lives in ways we never even think about, and I'm not just talking about sending us a Google Calendar alert so we don't forget our anniversary. Here are 9 crazy ways smartphones are changing the world for the better:

They keep you safe, even if you're alone

Walking home, alone, at night, through a bad part of town is not nearly as dangerous as it was 10 years ago, thanks to the tracking device you always carry with you. For extra protection, personal safety apps like bSafe have additional features, such as a "Follow Me" live GPS trace so your friends can make sure you get home safely, and an automatic alarm that triggers if you fail to check in at a specified time.

They can detect earthquakes

Your smartphone contains a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometer that tracks movement and keeps your map rotated to the right direction. But scientists have discovered that these sensitive accelerometers can also accurately detect earthquakes of magnitudes greater than 5 when located near the epicenter. In other words, smartphones could soon replace traditional seismometer networks.

They give sight to the developing world

A company called eyeNETRA has invented the NetraG, a $2 smartphone attachment that, when paired with a mobile app, can accurately measure farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism, age-related blurriness, and pupillary distance. According to the company, 2.4 billion people in the world need glasses but cannot access testing tools or afford pricey exams-the NetraG will change that.

They make doctors mobile

Apps like Doctor on Demand bring qualified doctors right to your smartphone screen, even if you're holed up in your bedroom with a bucket of chicken soup. But smartphone convenience is not just for you: Harvard prof George Whitesides has developed a paper chip that, when dabbed with blood, creates a colorful pattern that diagnoses diseases such as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. The chip displays its results visually so that a doctor viewing it on a mobile device can make a diagnosis.

They're always on the scene

Smartphones are everywhere, and that's a good thing in an emergency. Authorities can tap into the network to issue alerts, such as severe weather alerts or Amber Alerts (kidnapping). Smartphones are also handy in a disaster, such as the 2011 Japan earthquake, where they were used for communication (the landlines were down) and search and rescue operations.

They're changing our brains

Researchers have found that smartphones are such game-changers that they're actually changing the way our brains work. Constant access to databases and search engines have changed the way our memory works. Instead of remembering information, we now remember how to find that information. If you don't think this is a good thing, think of it this way: Instead of clogging up your brain with useless facts, you're now clogging it with information on how to get useless facts, so you actually know more (it's just filed differently).

They help people cope with illnesses and disabilities

Being sick is no fun, but being sick in the smartphone age is considerably more fun (relatively speaking). There are apps for everything: Managing illnesses, addressing learning disabilities, teaching sign language, even finding accessible restaurants, hotels, and attractions in your city. And for people who can't use their hands, there's a hands-free Android phone called the Sesame Enable, so anyone can stay connected to the world around them.

They bring information to the developing world

Smartphones and tablets as textbook replacements might sound luxurious, but this strategy actually saves schools money. The reason? For the cost of a few static textbooks, students can get an entire internet's worth of dynamic information in a mobile device. So it's no wonder that schools in developing continents like Africa are opting for this high-tech alternative to traditional media.

They save time

According to a study by Harris Interactive, the convenience of smartphone apps saves people an average of 22 days per year. That's right; checking your email, scheduling appointments, grocery shopping, texting your buddies, and checking the weather all in one place means you have almost an extra month's worth of free time compared to your 1990's self. Note that "saving time" doesn't necessarily mean "being more productive," however, since you probably just use those extra 22 days to play Clash of Clans.

Looking the the screen of your phone at a distance and for very long hours will spoil you eyesight.

Smartphones are bad for mankind because it kills jobs and compounds income inequality.  Companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple are sitting on billions in cash. Their founders and CEOs are among the richest individuals on the globe.

When Jeff Bezos launched Amazon in the mid-90s there were around 4,000 bookstores in America. Two decades later, number had been cut half, resulting in thousands of lost retail jobs. Amazon destroyed 27,000 jobs in 2012 alone. Now that Amazon has expanded beyond bookselling, it is squeezing jobs in every retail sector from clothing, electronics and toys to garden furniture and jewellery. This is bad for mankind because people would not have jobs, so they would not have enough money and they would not have enough to eat. On the other hand, the companies get richer, which means the poor get poorer while the rich get richer. This will then cause a lot of unhappiness and can lead to conflict because when the poor have no food to eat, they will get looked down upon.

# data[].attributes.body
I will argue that smartphones are the worst thing to happen to mankind because it can lead us to a very serious accident,difficulty in sleeping and our relationship with our family,friends and also teachers.

Smartphones can lead to a very serious accidents such as knocking onto someone who is crossing the road while using phone when driving. This may lead to serious case as we can make someone lose their lives.  Therefore, I argue that smartphones can be a dangerous thing that people been using .

Using smartphones may affect our health like having difficulty in sleeping like a melatonin. Melatonin is a chemical in the brain which helps us fall asleep. For example , we can get tired when using phone for too long and that it can bring us to having difficulty in sleeping. Hence, it is not healthy for us to use our smartphones too long as it may make us to neglect about studies and relationships with our loved ones.

Thirdly, smartphones are not as useful for us to be in contact with other people because sometimes we fight with our own friends in social medias and affect each other. For instance, it can cause to a cyber bullying case when one try to bring another person down. Also, our relationship with friends will not be stable because of the time used to focus more on phone on  social medias.

i will argue that smart phones are the worst thing to happen to mankind because it affects the productivity and concentration of the people. It is reported that students dont even need to be on the phone to be distracted, just the mere presence of it can already affect the person's concentration and productivity.
Mobile phones can also reduce face to face communication. Research has shown that people that have notebooks beside them are likely to be in better relations with the  person they're talking than people than those that has a mobile phone by their side. this will lead to bad social skills and lesser interaction with people in real life.

# data[].attributes.body
i will argue that smartphones are the worst  thing to happen to mankind because it can cause health problems affecting the eyes . People could also get addicted to smartphones and neglect other things that they should put first. Another reason can be being over-dependence on the phone .

A reason why smartphones are the worst  thing that happened to mankind is because they might strain our eyes . This happens because most people use their phones before bed with their light off . Our eyes starts to squint their eyes and get tired which results in having poorer eyesight which leads to the person getting glasses which can cause the person to be uncomfortable .

Another reason can be because of people depending on their phones too much . People nowadays do not  do things manually as often anymore and rely on their phones to do things for them.  If ever their phones got taken away from them they will start to act very crazy , angsty and they wouldn't function the same as when they have their phones with them .

Another reason can be because they might be too addicted to their smartphones and neglect the other things that they have to focus on. There are studies also shown that people to do get addicted to their smartphones . Their mind might be full of social media that they tend to forget what they have to do for that day . For example for students , they might procrastinate with their smartphones all day and forget to do their work . This might cause them to do it late at night. They would still have to wake up early in the morning for school

our smartphone may be capable of connecting you to the whole world via email, messaging services, social networks, and the wider Web, but it’s also capable of disconnecting you to those people around you.

Phubbing (phone snubbing) is a serious issue, with couples choosing to spend their time together staring at their phones rather than interacting with each other. This is merely the thin end of a very large wedge that could harm our ability to connect and communicate with other people face-to-face.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Nearly two thirds of American adults now own a smartphone - up from 58% in early 2014. In fact, 61% of you reading this page right now are probably doing so on a smartphone.

Their popularity is not surprising! Smartphones are incredible little devices - they allow us to stay connected, organized and entertained. They can track what we eat, our exercise goals and our sleep patterns. They log our shopping lists, our travel details and our spending habits.

These mini computers have eliminated our need for alarm clocks, address books, notepads and cameras.

But do their perks come with a downside?

It would seem they come with several disadvantages. Read on to find out exactly what those are.

A Serious Addiction

Despite what some may think, smartphone addiction is a very real phenomenon.

It has been found that female college students spend an average of ten hours a day on their cellphones, surfing the internet and sending 100+ messages. That's more time than spent with friends.

Another survey found that three out of five US smartphone users can't go more than 60 minutes without checking their phones.

So what makes us so eager to play with our phones instead of engaging in real life?

Experts say our brains get a hit of dopamine and serotonin - the chemicals linked to happiness - when our phones beep or ring. These are the same chemicals that give drug users their 'high'!

We aren't oblivious to our very real problem either - a recent opinion poll shows that 82% of the American public believe that smartphone addiction exists.

In fact, nomophobia (the fear of being without your mobile device) is now recognized as a serious issue - with rehab facilities available to help you deal with your problem!

Withdrawal Is Painful

Just like with other addictive substances, withdrawal can be long and painful and come with complications.

A 2011 study called 'The World Unplugged' surveyed almost 1,000 University students in 10 different countries.

The students were asked to avoid cellphones, laptops and social networking for 24 hours.

A 'clear majority' suffered significant mental and physical distress, panic, confusion and extreme isolation during the withdrawal period, with most students failing to go the full day without their fix.

Back Problems

Are you constantly hunched over your phone, engrossed in your Facebook feed? You could be putting your back under pressure if you are!

The British Chiropractic Association say that the number of young people with back problems has risen dramatically over the last number of years, thanks to smartphone use.

According to 2015 statistics, 45% of young people aged 16 to 24 now suffer from back pain as their spinal disks are put under pressure. That's a 60% rise from 2014!

This pain isn't just occasional either, with 25% of those young people suffering on a daily basis.

But it's small wonder that texting can cause such pain...a 2014 study, published in Surgical Technology International, found that texting can add up to 50 pounds of pressure on a person's spine, depending on the angle at which the person is texting.

That's a similar weight to a seven year old child!

Nerve Damage

Smartphones don't just affect your health on a day-to-day basis - they may also cause long term, incurable side effects.

Like occipital neuralgia - a neurological condition where the nerves that run from the top of the spinal cord up through the scalp become compressed or inflamed.

This condition causes symptoms similar to those you'd experience with a severe headache or migraine.

One journalist diagnosed with the condition described it as like being 'hit over the head with a rod of steel' sending 'bolts of pain' through his skull.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for occipital neuralgia - only treatments to manage the pain which include steroid and numbing injections, yoga, massage and laying off the smartphone usage!

Anxiety & Depression

Spending so much time staring at a screen can lead to anxiety and even depression as people expect constant updates and interaction from friends, and worry when these aren't received.

For every minute you're playing Candy Crush, you're missing out on a minute of exercise, of cooking healthy meals, of walking the dog and of real-life human interaction - all of which are important for good mental health.

A study from Northwestern University revealed that the more time people spend on their phones, the more likely they are to be depressed.

The average daily use for a depressed person was 68 minutes, compared to just 17 minutes for someone who has better mental health.

Stress

Having a smartphone means we're always 'available' - to take calls, text messages, instant messages, social media notifications and emails. The workday no longer finishes at 6pm as emails continue to push through late into the night.

But research from 2012 has found that the need to immediately read and respond to every one of these incoming alerts is causing rising stress levels.

The study, which looked at 100 university students, retail workers and public-sector employees, found that the stress gets so bad for some, that they actually begin to experience phantom vibrations, thinking their phone is buzzing when it isn't!

Weight Management & Fitness Levels

Have you ever got lost in the virtual escape your smartphone provides, only to return to reality minutes - or even hours - later?

This is precisely why we're spending less and less time exercising - once we've fit in our daily dose of phone use, there's no time!

In one study, researchers surveyed over 300 college students about their cellphone use, leisure activities and physical activity.

49 of the students were then asked to use a treadmill test to evaluate their heart and lung fitness.

Unsurprisingly, those who spent up to 14 hours daily on their phones were less fit than participants who only averaged about 1.5 hours of use.

Disrupted Sleep

63% of smartphone users age 18 to 29 fall asleep with a cellphone, smartphone or tablet in their bed, says a 2013 survey.

Around 30% of users aged 30 to 64 do the same thing.

What's really worrying is that, according to a study published in September 2015, the amount of caffeine in a double espresso has less of an effect on sleep schedule than bright light exposure at night!

While most of us wouldn't bring a double espresso to bed, we happily bring our phones.

The light exposure can actually push back sleep time twice as long as coffee does, thanks to its ability to suppress melatonin, the hormone that helps with sleep timing.

When Harvard researchers looked at the effect of 6.5 hours of exposure to blue light, and to green light, they found that the blue light suppressed melatonin for twice as long as the green did.

The blue also shifted sleep schedules by three hours, compared to an hour and a half for the green light.

A Source of Bacteria

Disturbing research from the University of Arizona has discovered that the average phone has 10 times the amount of bacteria that is found on a toilet seat!

While you might clean your toilet regularly, it's likely your phone is given a good wipe down far less often. And no matter how clean your toilet seat, you're probably not going to let it touch your face!

Next time, be careful where you leave your phone, and wipe it regularly.

Attention Span

It turns out that most of us now have an attention span less than that of a goldfish.

Could our smartphone addiction be at fault?

That's exactly what research from Microsoft claims. It's not surprising really, especially when you consider that most of our news is now condensed into 140 characters or less.

On the upside, the researchers claim that cellphones have increased our ability to multitask.

But, others studies contest this, stating that simply talking or texting can be distracting and contributes to diminished performance when multitasking.

In fact, simply the presence of a cell phone is said to be distracting, especially when in social settings.

Social Effects

Instead of making us more connected, our smartphones could be making us more isolated.

Not only are we more distracted and less 'present' in social scenarios thanks to our cellphones, we're also becoming less connected to our peers on a deeper level.

Researchers from the University of Essex found that people who discussed personally meaningful topics when a cellphone was nearby (even if they weren't being used) reported lower relationship quality and less trust in their partner.

They also felt their partner was less empathic to their concerns.

Smartphone use is also likely to make us more selfish, and less likely to engage in 'prosocial' behavior, says University of Maryland research.

Prosocial behavior is defined as an action intended to benefit another person or society as a whole - like volunteering or simply helping out someone in need.

Text Claw

Text claw isn't a medical term (yet) but its symptoms are very real. Sufferers experience cramped fingers, wrist pain and muscle pain thanks to continuous texting and scrolling on the touchscreen of a smartphone.

This occurs because of inflammation in the tendons. It can also exacerbate existing inflammation from tendinitis.

If it happens to you, take a break from the cellphone, ice the area regularly, try some wrist exercises and flavor your food with these pain-killing herbs and spices, many of which will work to reduce the inflammation.

Indirect Injuries

Aside from the injuries directly caused by your phone - like occipital neuralgia or carpal tunnel syndrome - a cellphone addiction can increase your risk of indirect injuries, like from a nasty fall or car crash!

While hand-held cellphone use while driving is banned in some states, hands-free isn't.

Yet Carnegie Mellon University researchers found that drivers who are listening to someone talk on their phone have 37% reduced brain activity. They say that making devices hands-free or voice-activated is not sufficient to eliminate distractions while driving.

Even pedestrians are at increased risk of causing accidents.

A University of Washington study reports that texting pedestrians took 1.87 extra seconds to cross an average intersection and were four times more likely to ignore the lights or forget to look for traffic before crossing.

Scary stuff!

Eyesight

Direct exposure to blue light - like the one that comes from cellphone screens - can cause damage to the retina of the eye.

The American Macular Degeneration Foundation warns that retinal damage of this nature may lead to macular degeneration, which causes the loss of central vision (the ability to see what's in front of you).

In the research however, the blue light was placed directly in front of the eye - which isn't exactly how cellphones are used. However, long term effects of blue light exposure are not known.

One survey of 2,000 people found that 55% of respondents believe that eye discomfort is the main problem inflicted on them by their phones.

To save your eyes, limit the amount of time on your phone and follow the 20-20-20 rule - every 20 minutes take 20 seconds to focus on something 20 feet away. Plus you could invest in a blue light blocking phone screen cover. Check out these vision-saving foods too!

Hearing

Simply chatting to someone on the phone won't damage your hearing, but if you use your smartphone and headphones for listening to music then you might have cause for concern.

According to the National Institute on Deafness, around 26 million Americans suffer from noise-induced hearing loss.

One source of such noise is from headphones, like the ones that come with your phone.

If we listen to music that is too loud, we can damage the tiny hairs in the inner ear, which transmit chemical signals through nerves to the brain.

What level is too loud?

The Dangerous Decibels public health campaign states that repeated exposure to noises above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss - approximately the noise level of heavy traffic.

The maximum volume of a smartphone is around 105 decibels - or that of a concert. Listening to music at this volume for more than four minutes would likely result in damage to hearing.

Even if you lower it to just 94 decibels, you can cause damage if you listen for over an hour.

Radiation

While it's not clear if the radiation from cellphones and other connected devices causes health issues, a group of 200 biological and health scientists from around the world are trying to raise public awareness on this issue.

They are calling on the United Nations, World Health Organization and national governments to develop strict regulations concerning cellphones that create electromagnetic fields.

The World Health Organization already classes cellphones as 'possibly carcinogenic to humans' and the organization will conduct a formal risk assessment of all studied health outcomes from radio-frequency field exposure by 2016.

point: smartphones are harmful to society because u cannot have social etiquette with people.

evidence:
This is a very modern cultural issue that's been in debate for a while. Is it cool to use your phone at the dinner table?

According to an Ofcom study, 55 per cent of the UK say they won't use theirs while dining. There's even a group trend of stacking all phones on the table when sitting down for a meal, ensuring full attention on the moment.

Once again it depends on the situation – but generally asking or saying you're going on your phone is best. You don't want to be part of that couple in the restaurant sat in the dark and silence illuminated only by your phones, do you?

explanation: this shows that people always use their smartphones during special conversation with their loved ones.
