mortgaged as a result of excessive cell phone usage.
The bellow are dangers of using smart phone....
1. It causes accidents
Most of us are so confident of our ability to focus that we drive and use our phones simultaneously; endangering not only ourselves, but other road users. According to studies carried out by National Accident Helpline in the UK, about 43% of people bump into obstacles while walking and accessing their phones.
2. Posture Disorder
The use of smartphones can result to posture disorder. Maintaining a particular posture for a long period of time can be hazardous to our muscles.While using our smartphones, chances are suspend our neck and arms are suspended at a particular angle. This could lead to muscles spasms and chronic diseases.
3. Screen Fatigue
Looking at our phone screens for too long can result to fatigue. The backlight from our phones can cause hazy sensations. Screen fatigue can pose a great discomfort to us. It always comes with persistent headaches( especially on the forehead region), and burning sensation to our eyes. To avoid this, never look at your phone screen for too long especially phones with small screens. This will also go a long way to avoiding dry eye syndrome- a condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly.
4. Sleeping Disorder
We enjoy going to bed with our phones either to read about the latest happenings around, watch videos or play games. This is the last thing we may wish to do if we intend to get a good sleep as these could trigger our brain's intellectual activities and increase our alertness which can consequently lead to restlessness and insomnia.
5. It causes social disorder
Before the advent of smart phones, most of our conversations are done orally in our immediate environment with our family and friends. Nowadays, smartphones have made conversation with our friends who stay thousands of miles away from us possible. Ability to send pictures, voice notes, videos and files across the internet with our phones has added to the addictiveness of our smartphones that we tend to disconnect ourselves from our immediate environment. We now prefer to share our feelings and updates with people of "the outside world" than our families and friends.
6. Identity Theft
Our phone stores a lot of data ranging from pictures, videos, browser histories, bank information, passwords etc. When our phones are lost or stolen, we are at risk of losing some vital information . These information can be used by hackers against our wish to steal money from us or expose our privacy.
