If you failed to do so then mobile phones become devil. Let’s see how by seeing the negative part of all the above mentioned uses.
1. Talking for long hours either on calls or chatting and gossiping on unnecessary stuffs. This not only kills your time but also hinder your productivity.
2. Search engine leads to unnecessary stuffs and sometimes students come across adult videos and websites which in turn leads to wrong way of getting knowledge on sex education. So, if anyone come across such videos, do talk to your elders, be it your parents or cousins or mentor. I know it is very uncomfortable but it is very important to know the right and correct way of knowing things.
3. Giving excessive time in entertaining oneself by watching movies or web series for long hours and completing entire season in one go. Not only this but also watching videos on YouTube.
4. Using social media platform and indulging in cyber crimes either as a victim or guilty.
5. Playing games for long hours and applying those actions in real life such as theft or robbery or sometimes violence.
6. Clicking photographs not for memories but for making streaks on snapchat. And clicking photos and videos just to fill storage in mobile phone but no memory of that particular happening in mind emotionally.
The devil side of mobile phones is very dangerous which leads to mobile addiction, kills mental stability, wastes time and above all kills one’s productivity and creativity. Nowadays, to make any project, students tend to search on internet and just jot down on their project file. Getting ideas from internet and just copy pasting on project will not help you in boosting your creativity.
It is very important for students to know what to do exactly with this angel cum devil gadget. Mobile phones are very helpful and much needed in today’s world. But using them only for one’s benefit is only recommended and not wasting complete hours in it. Prioritizing daily tasks very termed to be beneficial in reducing usage of mobile phones in daily life. Just little more dedication and determination is required to find alternate ways of loosing ties with smart phones.
