Let’s understand how! Top 4 Reasons to Know and Say ‘No’ to Mobile Addiction Now!rn1.No Learning, Only Deteriorating!rnDo these non-stop action-packed games, browsing of fashion and political news, and chatting for hours together to prove who is right and who is wrong, instill in you any kind of positive learning?

Gaming makes our inner intents violent and aggressive, browsing bad and futile sites makes our mind more negative, and chatting increases the risk of cybercrimes. While digital multitasking seems to be a benefit, it is likely to be a disadvantage in the long run. Further, our attention span and ability to focus starts declining. According to a Microsoft study, a goldfish has nine seconds of attention span, which is more than an average attention span of eight seconds of those who are heavy screen-concentrators. In the year 2000, when smartphones were not that widely used, this span was of 12 seconds. rnSnapping limitless selfies and posting your opinions about your life can lead to detrimental self-centeredness. This finally gives rise to negative traits such as arrogance and no fellow feeling. 2.Disrupting Useful Schedule and Upsetting OthersrnSpending continuous hours on a mobile screen does not let you follow your useful, productive schedule. If you are a student, you do not study enough that makes you confident for exams. If you are working, you do not complete the assigned work for the day on time. If you are at home for a relaxing weekend, you do not relax or finish your pending home chores. rnThe persistent buzz can distract you from all your productive tasks, make you more anxious, slow down your work, and interrupt those peaceful moments that are otherwise essential for some creativity.rnWith this, even others get disturbed such as your teachers, other team members at work, and parents. You also end up spoiling your health. You just don’t feel like doing better things in life. rnSo, of what use is this non-stop mobile usage to you then? 3.Going Away from Real and Instantly Helpful Relationships Towards Virtual, Unreliable RelationsrnWhile you are constantly texting, browsing or gaming, what is your reaction like if your mother, friend, or sibling calls you for some help or work? Well, obviously, as your attention is drowned into the vibrant 6-inch screen, you immediately get irritated, don’t you? And then, you end up hurting them the next moment by answering rudely, harshly and uncaringly. rnYou slowly become all alone! because when the same incident repeats a few times more, you begin to distance yourself from those caring people around you. When you will be sick or need some project help, will those virtual friends come to take care in person or would it be your parents or neighborhood friends that will be there for your help? Think about it! 4.Diluting Your Inner StrengthsrnBecoming smartphone-addicted undoubtedly makes you concentrate on the portable screens for several hours a day.

When you turn your face away from the real-life challenges, how are you to develop common sense to handle them? Well, this is a commonly believed plus point of smartphones. However, it is the biggest con, as you lose out on your ability to adjust with people around you, and thereby you lose out heavily on your mental peace and health in your life.
