Mobile ADDICTION ruiningrelationships

Researchers have found

that constantly

checking for messages is

an addiction, which like

other drugs can ruin your

personal relationships.

Cell phones do make life easier; all calls can be received wherever you are, and no matter how busy you are, you can keep in touch with clients, family, and friends. How

can one complain about technology that does that?

Rather than turn off the phones when occupied, people keep them on at all times. They are never free. In effect, cell phones now burden, not free people.

For some it can become a compulsion and others feel

feelings of withdrawal when they are not with their phone.

It is also extremely annoying to those around them.

Mobiles are accessible at any time – including

during class – and their functions are forever

expanding, making their use or overuse more

likely

Previous studies have revealed young adults, aged 18 to 29, send on average 109.5 texts a day, or approximately

3,200 messages a month.

Researchers say a majority of

youngsters claim losing their

phone would be "disastrous to

their social lives".

Yet there is no generally accepted

definition of exactly what constitutes cellphone

addiction but most scientists agree

that when one is produced it will

include references to an individual "feeling good"

when holding it.Image via wpclipart.com

Recent research shows it doesn’t

even take checking your phone to annoy those around you -

just having your mobile device in the room can negatively

impact your interactions with

other people.Image: Roeyahram (Flickr)

The strangers who were seated within eyeshot of a phone felt less close and reported a lower

quality of relationships with their partner than those who were

placed in an environment without

a phone in the background.

The study concluded that “the mere

presence” of a cell phone can have a negative effect on

interpersonal relationships, and that ditching the

devices can lead to more feelings of

closeness, trust, and empathy

"Relationships are becoming increasingly technology-driven, which decreases the chances that individuals have to connect with one another on a personal level.

Time teens spend texting is time that they don't

socialize face-to-face. With more frequent electronic

communication, teens give up real intimacy for the

illusion of companionship Image: Debra (Flickr)

Creating a personal culture at home

ensures that teens have somewhere to

talk about important issues. Image: middlewick (morgueFile)

The underlying issue is people’s need for

constant stimulation. Texting and cellphones are

wonderful for bringing friends

closer, but the best time for that is

when you’re actually alone.

Technology has desensitized us to real-

time interaction. Granted, it probably

brought us together in the first place.

Relationships on phones are prioritized at the expense of relationships with people in the

surrounding area.

Page 22: Film260 flipbook

The problem isn't in our smart phones. The problem is with us. Because for as many times as my phone makes me a better person, it

also makes me a more distracted person, or even a more selfish person. It distracts me from living in the moment. It makes me feel

insecure and insignificant. It makes me worry obsessively that everyone is smarter, or prettier, or has a better life than I do.
