Digital Paradox (eBook)

As freeing and liberating as smartphones can be, they are also very confining and damaging.As spectacular as these technological achievements are, there are pitfalls associated with such amazing abilities. No one can have it all, and there must be drawbacks. Nothing is free, as they say, and this is certainly the case with technology becoming an integral part of everyone's daily life...No one could have predicted this would be an issue. Technological advances are almost always intended to solve a problem in society. It is doubtful that at the birth of the mobile phone innovation process, inventors intended that such harmful side effects as depression, addiction, poor hygiene, and other conditions that will be discussed below, would spread across an entire generation.Regardless of the original intentions cell phone inventors had, the influence these devices have on people is very apparent. Again, while people from older generations might be skeptical that such a seemingly trivial thing can create a phobia, this is a real phenomenon. Any parent raising children in the modern age might feel this feeling. This is if they have ever taken away their child's tablet or cell phone as a punishment...This type of addiction involves compulsive mobile device overuse. These obsessive habits are typically quantified by the total amount of time a person is online in an average day. In addition, they are quantified by the total number of times a person accesses their phone. However, compulsory overuse is just one facet of phone addiction.Key Features: What is phone addiction?
