SMARTPHONE : Good Or Not For Health?

            Are you smartphone user , why you choose a smartphone as your gadget, or do  think you will be cool by having a smartphone?.Smartphone is one of technology that have  many  functions and applications. You can choose a brand of smarphone that you want likes Samsung,Sony,BlackBerry,and so on. Although smartphone become a trend as new comer for phone user,not all people have and using smartphone. Some people choose a smartphone to make their job easier.Half of people do not use a smartphone because of health or cost. Besides ,the smartphone have many functions and application to be access ,it does not mean all people can use smarthphone. There are some advantages and disadvantages in using a smartphone.

            There are advantages in using smart phone. First, smartphone can make communication become easy. Many applications that you can use likes facebook,twitter,BBM,line,kakao talk ,youtube,etc.Those applications can be access easily that you can chatting with your friends from another country without going to their  town.And also, we can send a voice,pictures,video,etc to them. For example, when we use a Kakaotalk, we can chat with people in other country and talking about anything. In smartphone, we can use all applications for chatting and those applications have one similarity is can write and send a message.

            Then ,smartphone will make users update about new information , hot issue ,or gossip about something. For examples, Ivan Gunawan wants to be a stepfather  for Bilqis (Ayu Ting – Ting ‘s daughter). It is the hot gossip lately in entertaiment world. Or if you busy and cannot watch television,you will check the hot issue by using your smartphone to search that issue.

            On the other hand, there are disadvantages in using smartphone. It can cause some diseases likes dry eyes, amnesia, and can be mentalistic illness. Mr.Allon Barsam from Luton and Dunstable University Hospital said that do not use a smartphone at least 15 minutes at the same time in  the room without light . It can cause your eyes become dry. To decrease your dry eyes, you may set text in your smartphone bigger.  And also Dr Sandy Chapman, chief director for the Center for Brain Health in Dallas, who has studied the effects of technology on the brain, was quoted in nbcdwf.com, saying: "It's really keeping us at this distracted level, so everything that we're thinking about tends to be quicker, less synthesized, and that's what's making us dumber." Those experts said that how dangerous smartphone for our health especially your eyes and brain. Some people never think that using smartphone is a wrong choose.

            And then, smartphone make us individualist. Why I said like that,if they do not do anything ,they just busy with their smartphone without know about something happen around them. They just update information from another country and never response  problem in our country itself(based on my brother experience). In a real world,we have alot of friends  and in social media ,we also have much friends. But users of smartphone think that their friends are only in  their contact of their smartphone. The real friend is a friend that always together with you wherever you are,knowing you privately,close to you,you can touch them,they know your conditions. According to a psychologist Dr.Emma Short From University of Bedforshiren,technology can make you difficult to manage  the boundaries in your live. So , do not make your smartphone make you far from your real world.

             In conclusion, using a smartphone  is a one way to connect with people far from you. Whatever you want, you will get from a smartphone,including get a new friend and become you girlfriend or boyfriend later on. It is interesting. But ,use a smartphone  do not make you forget about your  real friend and time. You have to know how you can keep your health and still looking good with a smartphone. Using a smartphone do not make you become smart.   Be a good user if you do not want to be sick with smartphone. If you get  hard diseases, using a smartphone it is  not cool anymore. Think again if you want to use a smartphone and also think your health.
