A Thing Called "Smartphone"

There is a thing. This thing is square, slim and has a black screen on one of its sides. This thing was invented in the late 2000s. This thing is very unique. It attracts many people since the first time it was introduced to the world. From year to year, this thing is constantly being developed to the better version.This thing is not only an ordinary thing. It is called "smartphone".

Now, this thing is beyond famous. I mean, most people nowadays have this thing. Believe it or not, this thing really affects our life. It contains many never-found-and-never-imagined-before-that-it-would-exist applications. According to Google Translate, applications is a program or piece of software designed and written to fulfill a particular purpose of the user. The programs are various, from the program where we can communicate with our relatives that live far away to the program where we can record ourselves live so that everyone can see what we're doing. 

I'm not gonna tell you what are the applications that people often use on their smartphone. I'm just gonna share some impacts from using smartphone too much.

•  I told you before that there are applications where we can communicate with our relatives even we can meet new people who live far away from us even in the other side of the earth. Let's mention one, Facebook.

• Before we have smartphone, we never take pictures of the food that we're going to eat. We never spend a few minutes just to capture good pictures. We just eat it right away. We never think that taking it would be so addictive (at least for some people). Not only food, but also every object that we consider as beautiful, unique, creative, such as buildings, flowers, street, and many more.

• We're kinda proud of ourselves when we can share what we have gone through in a day. We can also take a look at what others do in a day. For instance, our personal life is open to everyone even the world. Everyone can see it as long as our profile is not locked. For example, Instagram, the application that is being loved by many people today.

However, we must admit that we can't live without our smartphone (not literally). It is already part of our life. It is part of our generation that we can't avoid. I'm not saying that it is a bad thing to have a social media, but it will be bad if we use it too much, too often. So, please, use your smartphone wisely. Enjoy every face-to-face moment where you can spend your time with your friends, family, and the loved ones.

God bless :)
