Dependence on the smartphone when we cross the border courtesy

According to research company Synovate Comcon the first half of 2015, 53% of people in Russia use ordinary mobile phones, and 49% - smartphones. Smartphone users was 22% more than in 2013. Dependence on gadgets - the subject of research, jokes and serious quarrels. We will look at the cases in which sticking to your phone offends people around them.

Before figuring out when and where a smartphone in your pocket to clean better, we estimate the magnitude gadzhetozavisimosti. On the chart you can see the percentage of smartphone users in the age groups from 18 to 55+ years.

Most smartphones zombies, of course, are in the group from 18 to 34 years. I am also one of them. We start the day than with a shower or breakfast, but with Twitter inspection. This is similar to the fear to miss something interesting. I not looked into the social network in the morning - missed fresh meme and do not always realize what a joke your friends and colleagues.

In the bag are constantly lying about charging from a smartphone, because even disable it for a couple of hours knock us out of the rut. There is a new term - "a syndrome of permanent location online," while bloggers and major portals popular heroic experiments such as "How do I for two days refused to smartphone and that this It happened. " they are all the same: in the early hours of the smartphone without the experimenter panic.

How to listen to music? How to get to your destination without a navigator? How to tell that you are late for an appointment? Where is the nearest ATM to withdraw money from the card? How to block a lost card? Where to drink coffee nearby? How to call loved ones, if any numbers you do not know by heart? What happens in the world? What to do while you ride public transportation ?!

It turns out that we can not even 20 minutes riding the bus or subway to spend alone with their own thoughts and other people. Smartphone helps isolate themselves from the outside world, to escape from reality, which is not always want to watch, turn away from general conversation when you do not want to take part in it.

How others perceive care in the smart phone?

Interesting data from a study Pew Research Center, presented on the chart below. Using your smartphone as transport, public events in the queue is considered normal and does not hurt others. But at family dinners and meetings, it is the majority view, is unacceptable.

For groups of people up to 34 years old is considered rude not distracted by a smartphone during general conversation. It should be one of the interlocutors open Instagram, the others followed his example. Five minutes later, the party turns into a smartphone-party. We joke about the unbridled joy, but it can not break away from the screen. However, we recognize that gadgets do not allow us to conduct complex interesting conversation. We seemed to move short dashes - exchanged a few words and buried her in the phone, lost the thread of conversation.

Some practice game, "Put your smartphone in a heap" when, during a joint dinner, all the gadgets are added to each other in the middle of the table. The first one will not stand and take out your phone, pays for all.

The older a person is, the more critical in their views on sticking to the smartphone. Somehow it happened to me a story. I was visiting the couple, who were about 40 years old. He led me to know him, who is also 40. The difference is not felt in 10 years. All of them were slim, smart and hipsterovatye.

However, at some point the conversation had tired me: three of them are very emotionally discussed the political situation, and I decided to quietly disconnect from the conversation and relax, looking into Instagram. The landlady kindly but firmly made me remark that in their house is not made to go into a smartphone into talk time at the table.

I felt terrible. I understood, on the one hand, she's right, on the other hand - I felt a sharp gap between us, I felt uncomfortable, because among my friends my behavior considered normal.

Conclusion of the story: if you do not want to impress snapper, search yourself and hide your smartphone into a pocket in a foreign company, especially if your interlocutors 35.

This is bad, is constantly hanging around on your smartphone?

It is neither good nor bad, it's natural. No other way, and it could not have happened. Growing a new generation that will be the same. After all, we ourselves are giving children gadgets, that they should rest for a couple of hours. According to a study Hi-Tech. Mail. Ru, 69% of children are beginning to use the gadgets in the preschool years.

You decide for yourself whether you want to spend as much time buried in a smartphone. As noted in the experiments on the rejection of gadgets for a couple of days after the onset of panic comes relief. As if you have lowered off the leash. You start to notice things around entertaining, not intrusive chatik twang, and it turns out that in mind a lot of interesting ideas that just do not have time to think through.

Try at least a weekend to disable Internet on the gadget and not to touch the toys. You have available a couple of hours of free time, and the brain will reboot to the beginning of the working week will be filled with fresh and unusual experiences. However, your friends are concerned to see that you are offline for more than a day.
