Going back to Hwang, Yoori and Se-Hoon Jeong; and Liu et al., their approach involves different findings about the smartphone use patterns and specific measures to prevent and mediate in cases of excessive usages. The study reported in “Smartphone Gaming and Frequent Use Pattern Associated with Smartphone Addiction,” by authors Liu et al., shows a remarkable effect on smartphone addiction accusing “smartphone gaming posed a higher risk for smartphone addiction than internet addiction” (Liu et al.).
These technological addictions are considered behavioral addiction involving human interactions. Moreover, there should be age based restriction to control. Overuse of the smartphone has its adverse effects on the life of human beings. Hence, parental

Bakker portray that it takes more concerns on human psychological impacts of smartphone addiction. They believe “intensive smartphone users, in particular, have the potential to decrease … psychological detachment and relaxation” (Derks, Daantje and Arnold B. Bakker 434). They emphasized the employee’s viewpoint considering addiction of smartphones while they are at home. In the end, their article focuses primarily on how smartphone use impacts daily recovery work-home interference and daily stress indicators for the employees. In contrast, Derks and Arnold B, Overton et al. have a different perspective in their articles preference on distracted driving with the use of smartphones creating a huge emerging issue in today’s context. In “Distracted Driving: Prevalence, Problems, and Prevention,” Overton et al. claims that the use of the cell phones while driving is the major problems for major road accidents and fatalities. Each year, more than 100,000 crashes resulting in injury and death involve texting drivers (National Safety Council, 2013). This regards that there must be some strict regulations to control an emerging issue for distracted drivers. Furthermore, Overton et al. affirms that “though there is not an absolute correlation with distractive driving and motor vehicle accidents, driving patterns displayed by distracted drivers increase the …show more content…
addressed a very good awareness of the truth for smartphone addiction on emerging issues. Smartphones have become a superficially universal part of human culture. Life without a smartphone is possible, but the addiction stresses the life by being more dependent and at ease. The technological development mostly nowadays alters the smartphone use, which is convenient and beneficial in different perspectives. Though Emanuel et al. may be factual that it is hard to predict life without a smartphone in today’s world, but they must point out that there are many places where smartphone addiction is not an emerging
The article that I will be summarizing is “Half of Teens Think They’re Addicted to Their Smartphones” written by Kelly Wallace. This article is about how teens are addicted to their smartphones and how it is becoming a problem. The text is stating facts about how many teens and adults use their smartphones. Teens depend on their phone greatly which can make it hard to get off of it. This does worry people. Teens also say they check their phone hourly, so they also feel that they need to respond to texts and social networking messages immediately. Teens are not the only ones that are addicted though. Even parents have trouble getting off the phone to enjoy life. If you have this trouble and feel like you want to get on
Now a days, almost everyone has access to a smartphone. It is said that smartphones can be addictive. Tristan Harris article, “The Slot Machine in Your Pocket” states that it is gets really bad to the point where they take advantage of human weaknesses to ensure your constant attention. Harris says that, “When we get sucked into our smartphones or distracted, we think it 's just an accident and our responsibility. But it 's not. It 's also because smartphones and apps hijack our innate psychological biases and vulnerabilities” (Harris, 2016). When people look at their smart phones, they look at it for multiple reasons, but the most common reason is to see if you have gotten a notification. I agree with Harris because many people who do online
Because of ”tethering” only on smartphones, distraction could be the sereve problem to adolescents. Regarding smartphones offer many accesses to social media where most adolescents could look for something interesting and people like them, they are willing to check their phone constantly. Flora Carlin explores that when checking and focusing on smartphones, the stress of temporary distraction may create potential long-term brain damage. According to “a big concern is not just how teens are using their phones but rather the ‘technological anxiety’ and nomophobia (the feeling someone gets in the absence of their phone), that distract them from other tasks”. It’s a big concern that smartphones are making adolescents less capable of resisting urges.
With the fast development of the Internet and digital space, a person can easily addict to being “plugged in” in this modern society. There are many electronic devices around us so people at first learn how to use and gradually get addicted with them. Addiction to being “plugged in” is a serious problem because of the negative effect from it such as health, the danger side of the Internet. Myself, as a millennial, who was born in a developing generation, can also easily get addicted to being “plugged in” but I know when and where to control my use in electronic devices.
In an article “Our minds can be hijacked” by Paul Lewis, the growing controversy over our addiction to checking our phones, why our people are addicted, and the rising symptoms of this problem were examined and discussed. A collection of the sources were in agreement that smartphones have become attention thieves and have robbed us of our own minds. The worldly titan of technology has become a supreme constant in the United States, connecting people through apps such as Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and other social media sites. However has it become more than just a tool or a toy and began to dominate society?
Not everyone is addicted to a device, but those who are receive many aftereffects from them. A major issue is physical health. Electronic users
The past two decades have overwhelmed the human experience with technology, along with all its distractions. The direct relationship between the mind and the body’s ability to adjust from these distractions can be extremely difficult .Further research has shown that it has become an addiction for many. Technology has significantly improved our lives as a whole through experiences such as Global Positioning System (GPS), cell phones and social networking allowing us to communicate with different people around the world. These technologies make our daily lives easier and more efficient. However, this also discusses the effects of technology on various aspects of our everyday personal experiences both with each other and with the world around us. On the other hand technologies such as cell phones have become a problem in getting students to focus in class and distracting drivers and thus, resulting in vehicle accidents. Technology is beneficial, but can also become an inescapable distraction in our lives. It is important to view technology as having the ability to make our lives better or worse, yet also as having the ability to change our personal lives and behavioral patterns.
Smartphones have become popular because of the convenient features. Many young people have their own mobile phone and very dependent on it (Samaha, Hawi 2015, p.321).

Nowadays, smartphone addiction is a phenomenon that is getting worse. From 2011, the ratio of the smartphone addiction risk group more than doubled in 2013 and increased 7.1% from a year ago. Because of this convenience, teenagers rely on smartphones too much. Rosen said that (as cited in Corbett, 2012), your iPhone can act as a stimulus to your brain, meaning you get a feel-good dopamine rush from checking it, which furthers your technology addiction.
As the time passes, technology is expanding and developing many creative ideas. Unlike past, nowadays we have computers, TVs, internet, and many inventions that contain bad and good effects on us. Children used to interact with society by hanging out and playing sports with each other, but now as we can see a big percentage of children who play video games for many hours daily. Addiction controls life of people, there is addiction to drugs, cigarettes, alcohol or gambling, and there are some forms of addiction associated with modern life, such as Internet and video games.
Technology addiction is almost similar to drug addiction. Technology is useful in many ways. Using computer, internet, cellphone, television etc. make peoples’ life easier and comfortable. Young people are the most user of it. They cannot think of a single day without use technical device. Tara Parker-Pope is an author of books on health topics and a columnist for the New York Times. In her article , she expressed that, “The International Center for Media and the Public Agenda at the University of Maryland asked 200 students to refrain from using electronic media for a day. The reports from students after the study suggest that giving up technology cold turkey not only makes life logistically difficult, but also changes our ability to connect with others.” ( Parker-Pope, “An Ugly Toll of Technology: Inpatients”). Her point is that, for the young generation it is quite impossible to give up from becoming addict...
The lack of face-to-face communication occurs and it seems like people are completely enjoying their virtual world and ignoring present reality. The type of behavior of smartphone addiction is considered a social problem. Before approaching this social problem in the society, imagine what life would have become without smartphones. There will be no virtual interaction, information is difficult to access, and all transaction would have to be done in person. Thus, people will work more productively, focus on having a real, quality conversation with other people, and enjoy what happening around them; however, they will perform the tasks at hand slower, have limited access to information as well as an ability to contact with
