Nowadays we spend a lot of time on our smart phones every day. Many of us have become so reliant on them. However, it is bad for us to use them too often.
A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal emails and WeChat. And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news, and send a message or two to friends. After getting up, they often take photos of food, themselves and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that users pick up their phones more than l,500 times to do different tasks in an average (通常的) week. And they are on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day. That is to say, people use their phones for almost one full day each week.
It takes much time to use phones and it’s also bad for our health. Many people stay up late to play with phones. Surely, it will influence (影响) our sleep. Without using the phones, many people will feel sad. Many owners also find they use their phones without realizing they’re doing so.
