Life of Mobile Technologies

The trend of relying on smartphone for your daily tasks has been on the rise for the past few years. Things can range from multimedia, gaming, GPS, internet, emailing, social networking, to the good ole making phone call function. As these feature sets become increasing integrated with our everyday functions, we are beginning not only getting use to it, but rather too dependent on it. Granted, the useful features and applications on your smartphone can make your life easier to a certain extent, but sometimes we may tend to over rely on it such that we forget some of the basic human functions that we can perfectly perform without it. Take me for example, I get anxious when I am not able to use my phone to check my work emails or sync up on Facebook updates after few hours, and I'm sure there are people out there who may feel the same way. As mobile technologies advances at a ever increasing rate, we should realize both its potential upside and downside to the way it affects our daily lives.
