Why we are addicted
to use our Smartphones?
Today, all people are addicted to their smartphones. This started because
the big corporations wanted to start a new community. So they tried to
sell their products (smartphones ...) to make money and become famous. If they
are famous, they can sell more products. Thus, they can start a new community with
their own products.
People also feel as if
they are a part of an extended self with smartphones. This is an addiction. They do not want to lose their new expanded self, so they become
addicted to their smartphones. This is a reminder for caring relationships.
This phenomenon is slowly beginning to take over our lives. In the near future
and even today, people talk more and more behind screens than face to face. Even
the people standing next to each other use their smartphones to communicate. Nowadays, technology has been partially manipulating our brains.
A really
important system for this is the reward system. The reward system pours
dopamine out. Dopamine is for us a reward. So we’re happy. If we start
an experiment that names “Internet-free-days”, we wouldn't be happy and it’s
really hard for us, because we are addicted to something.
