" Don’t become a slave to technology – manage your phone, don’t let it manage you. "

According to a recent study, an average person spends about 3 hours and 15 minutes on their phone daily. That's about 47 days a year that you spend on your phone.

Any technology is created for simplifying and enriching one's life. To save time, energy and money. However, whatever new technology is created takes over us and becomes addictive. Nothing has done that so rapidly as smart phones. Internet and smart phone together are a powerful weapon and weapon doesn't know right or wrong. While we see it's advantages on a larger scale there are so many things that could go wrong with this. Apart from concerns of security and fear of hacking and frauds there are so many other problems with this phone addiction thing. We constantly fidget with our phones, hardly looking up to anything else. Our social skills have gone down and the omnipresent nature of phones in all our chores have made it increasingly difficult to focus beyond it. Music, television, movies, business, entertainment, money and what not. Everything is on our fingertips. Being distracted was never more easy. Today, entertainment, work and finance is managed in this one device. And whatever we do is seen, all our preferences, bank accounts, our financial capacity, transport, business and everything else that you do on your phone, works through internet. And this data is further used on us. To manipulate us into buying services and products.

Advertising these days has penetrated privacy like never before.
