Maybe it should take a supernatural order for us to be free from the yoke of SMARTPHONES. Its amazing how a possession has possessed the possessor. Simply put, We have surrendered our superior smartness to promote the  smartness of our phones. Friendship now is locked in the keypad of a phone.
Modern cell phones  has made some aspects of life easier -  We can order food /clothes, gadgets, sex and other items  online, without having to go to the shops .  we can download a lot of application that are very useful in our day to day lives ,we are provided with entertainment, relationships and of course communication is easy and cheap .WhatApp; Viber, Bbm, Wechat, skype, ChatOn ,Email, Messenger etc  are some of the Applications that one can have and has really made communication easier, faster and cheaper. . It is amazing how cell phones have become a mobile computer at the palm of our hands . The sending and receiving of emails, News and just browsing everywhere at anytime, has really made life better .

Most of us are even unable to function without our cell phones. We even declare ourselves naked when we lose the intimacy with our phones or feel like something is missing. That’s how much effect a modern cell phone has on us.


In today’s society, Cell phones do not only offer us better communication but also brain cancer.( Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which can be absorbed by tissues closest to where the phone is held.) Not only has cell phones taken over our learning environments and social events they have made people lose their lives. Talking on phone whilst driving has been declared illegal in most countries due to its fatality.... just by sending a simple text saying “hey” while driving a car many have lost lives and the lucky ones just lost their expensive cars in accidents.




Having a small device that can find you any information you want has increased the problem of not spending quality time with your family. Facebook may offer you 5000 friends, they poke you, the like your photos and comment on your posts but they will not physically wipe your tears at your funerals or cut your cake on your birthday. So even in the face of so much social life on our smartphones our socializing is still marooned in the cyber world.





  Most of us spend our days walking around with our noses buried in our cell phones, BlackBerrys, iPhones, HTC etc and while we're doing that, we're tuning out the people who are actually in the same room as us.

I fear that we are living in a society that is anti-social.
