Today, perhaps you would have been laughed by someone if you don’t own a smartphone. As a communication tool and an entertainment device, smartphones play an important role in our life. For some of us, we can’t even go a day without our smartphones. We created technology to serve us, yet so many of us – me included – have fallen enslaved to our phones. Ever lose your phone for one moment and felt your heart jump out of your chest? This is what I am talking about. Most of us are addicted to our smartphones. If you want to know whether you are addicted to your smartphone, ask yourself these questions: Do you check your smartphone within an hour of waking up this morning?
