From "Samsung recalls Note 7 flagship over explosive batteries", The decision follows reports in the US and South Korea of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 "exploding" during or after charging. The South Korean company said customers who had already bought the phone would be able to swap it for a new one but it had been difficult to work out which phones were affected among the 2.5 million Note 7s sold. The recall comes just one week ahead of an expected presentation of a new iPhone model from its main rival Apple.

My answer is:

For the advantages of using smartphone, people can contact each other easily which helps people keep relationship to others.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages by using smartphone. Many people are victims because other people misuse in their smartphone. For instance, bullying on mobile phone, such as malicious texts, the spreading of a video clip, or spreading rumors in social application, could be negative effect to people who are mention or in the video clip. Furthermore, accidents may cause by misused of mobile phone, such as texting message while driving a car. So, to prevent misused of technology, the government should introduce the laws of using smartphone and use them sticky.
Personally, I think smartphone is very useful for human. It helps me to arrange priority works and relieve stress; for example, I usually use YouTube application in iPhone to see funny TV shows. Also, smartphone helps me to keep in touch my long lasting friends too. In case of accident, using smartphone carefully by stop using mobile phone while driving could help to prevent this problems.

ReplyDeleteI really agree with you that smart phone has many feature and I found all of these convenient, although I don't use smartphone. Sometimes, I found my friends at school playing the smart-phone, while study in the class. Everyone knows that smartphones are grate resource in learning but some of students are using it for playing games or texting.
ReplyDeleteFor me, since I don't have smartphone, I usually use the Ubuntu computer and uses the application in my computer to talks to my friends. And,I don't find any problems talking to my friends or working.
I use my phone to stay in touch with people, but usually not by phoning them. FB's messenger app is really useful when meeting for lunch or finding out what my mother has been doing.
ReplyDeleteI use my phone for banking - that alone is a major benefit.
I use my phone get information. I'm thinking of buying something I'm not familiar with, I Google it.

When I visited Australia in July, I realised how addicted I was: after being in Sydney for about two hours, I couldn't stand not being connected so bought a SIM card to carry on as usual in Australia - money well spent and a great relief of stress.
I describe myself as a quite addicted smartphone user. I usually spend about 4 hours per day on average. Most of my leisure time is spent on social network application such as facebook, twitter and instagram. So mostly I use phone for recreational purposes. If I have to work or do something more serious like reading document online, I prefer using computer to smartphone.
