GROUP DISCUSSION ON “SMART PHONES ARE CREATING UNSMART PEOPLE?”

 With time,Technology has changed its phases in several forms. Smart phones are one of them. People are becoming more and more dependent on these phones, right from their morning time to their night time. People are becoming lazy and dumb. They didn’t want to use their brain even for small calculations as well. This is causing lack of interaction between people that leads to religious differences. People hesitate in talking to each other as they feel proud on themselves carrying these Smart phones. 

Smart phones are making people less smart. So many people are completely consumed and obsessed with their phone. They start checking out their mails and other social networking sites 24/7, which  are not so important, they are simply show off’s.  In reality, these smart phones should be nicknamed "stupid phones," because they're just making us dumb. We have become dumb. We're like little children who constantly need stimulation.

Technology is great up to a certain point, but it is making us dumb as a society. Why? We no longer pay attention to what's going on around us, because all we are is consumed with our so-called smartphone. The more people get these, the more people become addicted to them, and the less social interaction people have (and learn how to have). It has now become mandatory that we start interacting more with each other, and less and with our new best friend -- the smartphone. This was the first half of our discussion.

Now in the rest there are some who think that, introduction of smart phones has made life much easier. Now one can receive, send and share in just a seconds of time. Technology is a part of our life, there is no one who doesn’t makes use of it and these phones are just a part of it. So there is no harm in using smart phones because they provide a helping hand in several aspects. They said that yes,they are declining in making face to face interaction with people but on the other side we are increasing social communication through the means of mails, blogging, video calls etc. This was the whole part of our discussion.
