Smartphone Mania
Did your father's old car just blow two rear tires on a rural dirt road? Don't worry, pick up your smartphone and open a car service app. Whether you are stuck in a horrendous traffic jam or relaxing in a romantic restaurant, the smartphone, one of the world's latest high-tech gadgets, may be either the answer to your prayers or a major thorm in your flesh. Like it or not,
the smartphone is indispensable in your life While this technological device positively afets society by providing instant communication, it also dehumanizes (使丧失性情) rlatioships and threatens an individual's right to privacy.
The smartphone's positive effect on society stems from its ability to provide instant communication. The device is invaluable to car owners. Nothing makes a motorist with a defective engine happier than opening an app on his smartphone and receiving a message,"The tow truck should arive in ten minutes." Besides, smartphones help keep fiends and family members in touch. For exampl, a minute before midnight, the parents ofa 16 yer-old can video cll their son and gntly shriek, "Get home now, or you will be grounded for the next six months." In short, the smartphone's aillyy to llow anyone to be reached at any time
is a great comfort.
Iriallyy the tcenologigal device that binds society tgeter also treaters to dstrcy it through the poces of dehumaiztion. Just sride down the main stret in the city and in less than five miutes you will obseve a hudred pasesbey ignoring each other as they | mndlesly browse their Wechat moments. Ltelly,y smartphones are replacing lving,breathing human being. Some phone owners, for example, can be heard whispering sweet nothing, such as "Where are you, drling?" to their beloved smartphones. The smartphone,along with other tchnologial advancements, removes the "human" element from society.
So, your boyfriend tried to pop the big question but you couldn't hear him, because another diner's smartphone conversation drowned out his soft, romantic words. Then, why did you kiss your phone yesterday after searching the map online when you were hopelessly lost in the center of the city? Even though smartphones, the great communicators, dehumanize relationships and threaten our privacy, they are too deeply embedded in today's society to become obsolete.
