For my proposed thesis I chose "Smart Phone, Dumber You?" because the title really
intrigued me and I thought it would be relevant to life today. This article was about
how many people nowadays are addicted to their smart phones and what this
addictions causes in peoples lives. I completely agree with this article, I myself
believe that I am addicted to my smart phone. There are times during the day that I
notice myself grabbing my phone for absolutely no reason or mindlessly scrolling
and cycling in between the same social media apps for hours throughout the day.
Although I think that I am addicted I've seen videos recently of young teenagers
literally screaming and having panic attacks because their parents took their phone
away, this is very scary because they're so young and they're already so dependable
on their phones. I'm genuinely concerned for the future because it seems like the
problem just keeps getting worse. However, this article also lays out steps to help
combat this addiction. I think if people can see these tips and try and put some of
them into action, then it will improve their life and will help future generations from
ever becoming addicted to smart phones.
