Dear Dr. Wall,
Technology is the practical application of science to commerce or industry. It plays an important role in people's lives through home, school, medical, and business uses. Smartphones have become more and more necessary to people's life demands. A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile computing platform with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a feature phone. It affects on people, relationships and society in both good and bad ways. However some people have allowed the phone to overtake their lives. I interviewed two of my class mates, as well as my daughter on their uses of their smartphones. And this is the information I have gathered.
Classmate #1 Bobbi states that she spends eight hours a day on the phone. …show more content…
As soon as she wakes up in the morning she checks her phone, and checks just before going to bed in fact she takes it to bed with her.
Her primary usage is talking, texting, and internet which is what she does the most. The GPS app particularly very useful. Although sometimes gets her into trouble at work. She said if she lost her phone she would miss the games.
Classmate #2 Tashanta states that she spends about nineteen hours on her phone. She checks it every morning around 6 A.M. and checks it before going to bed around 3 A.M. Her primary use is texting, Facebook, phone calls and taking pictures with Facebook taking up most of the time.
Her GPS app and playing games take up most of the time. As with Bobbi using the phone at work gets her in trouble most of the time.
Last was my daughter Safra who is on the back side of thirty, who kind of grew up with the tech age from the Commodore 64 to the smartphone. Which I think is glued to her hand, she never seems to put her phone down. She says that she couldn’t function without it. She is constantly checking her phone, which she said is
habit
People can also check the weather, get the latest news, translate languages, edit pictures, and play games by using smartphones. Smartphones can enhance relationships or destroy relationships very easily and quickly. Before the invention of smartphones, couples could only use their phones to call or text each other. Now, couples can do video calling, send voice messages, and share pictures with each other by the applications in their phones. That is a good way to keep contact with each other.
Sincerely
