On buses,in meeting rooms,wherever we are,we see people looking at their mobile phones. Smartphones are so important that they are becoming irreplaceable(不可替代的). As we depend too much on technology,not on our brains,it seems that we are losing our smartness. Many people have lost three basic skills as a result.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts,there’s now no need to dial(拨打) a number or look at it again. As a result,we can’t contact others without our phones.
And some of us may also have lost our sense of direction because some apps can guide us anywhere we want to go. We get so dependent on them that when we can’t use our smartphones,we lose our way.
But the worst lost skills may be social ones,meaning that some people are becoming socially useless. We often lose ourselves in our smartphones and we don’t pay any attention to the people and things around. So some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.
Some researchers studied 51 students aged 13 and 19 who had over five hours’ screen time every day. Their task is to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy,sad,angry or scared. The children made an average(平均) of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic products(电子产品),they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.
Luckily,there are ways to help us get these abilities back. We should try to remember our parents’ numbers. We should also look at street signs and shops,and it will help us to draw a mind map and stop us from losing our way. And the easiest solution is to take a break from electronic products from time to time.
