Yes, smartphones have emerged as a cool way to connect to your loved ones, give access to news and information, enjoy music and videos, make tickets and do more.
Smartphones have stayed between us for around a decade and rapidly becoming the center of our lives.
If you keep giving attention to these cues (notifications, for example) on your mobile phone, then you may not be able to pay attention to other vital aspects of life. It is because we need to use a part of our cognitive resources to not to attend to phones.
Examples of Smartphones Hijacking our Minds
Even if you keep the phone away or don’t get a chance to use it for long, then the moment you get it back, there is a sheer sense of attaining Nirvana like feeling. These are nothing, but instances that smartphones are hijacking our minds even while being away.
Another example of smartphones hijacking our minds is when people pick their phones and check notifications and more like the first thing after waking up every morning. People also take mobile phones into washrooms and spend a long time on it.
Some employees spend their weekends glaring mobile phones by watching missed Netflix episodes. You may have also heard about people being hit by vehicles on the road or killed/injured by a speeding train as the person was so glued to the phone that he did not know what was going around!
