Best Phones Under 800015 min read

From waking us up in the morning to helping us sleep peacefully at night and from keeping us connected to our professional world to bombarding us with notifications, smartphones serve us relentlessly everyday, without questioning. The technology is so advanced and efficient that from MNC employees to freelancers, and from teachers to students, find it impossible to think of a day without using them. We have trouble managing a day without them. We make calls, text, take pictures, manage bank accounts, schedule appointments, enjoy music and videos, play enticing games, read books, learn new things for personal growth, virtually socialize with our friends, and do many important and unimportant stuff using our smartphones. Their presence is so unavoidable that we adults, and even those school going kids, have no choice but to learn and grow with this rapidly evolving technology.

Smartphones have radically changed our lives. Gone are those days when we needed to buy a camera separately for taking pictures, or buy a pager just for sending text messages. Now a single device is capable enough to do it all for us. These smart devices come equipped with a myriad of sensors and apps that let us do our business even while we are travelling or partying with our friends. These sleek and compact rectangular boxes with touchscreen displays act as telephone, pager, PDA, laptop, MP3 Player, e-book reader, camcorder, map, GPS, torch, compass, TV, watch, Wi-Fi adapter, and many more, and are so smart that they can even sense our heartbeat and alert us what to do and what not to do about our health. They have become so important in our daily lives that it is no wonder that for most of us, our smartphone is the first thing we look at in the morning and it is the last thing we see before falling asleep. These cool devices are so engaging and attention seeking that some of us remain glued to our smartphones all day, are ready to live with painful medical conditions like “text neck” and insomnia, and panic if we don’t find our phones in their pocket.

Research says that almost half of the population owns a smartphone and most of the millennials aged 18 to 24 years old owns a smartphone. It looks like that these people can spend their day without sleeping or brushing their teeth, but cannot spend their day without fidgeting with their smartphones. It is no wonder that, on an average, these people check their smartphones every 6.5 minutes and this figure is enough to worry and start a debate on the advantages and disadvantages of using a smartphone.

Attention please. Before you actually buy and start using a smartphone you must know that smartphones are hazardous too if you don’t use it wisely. Let’s look at some of the disadvantages of using a smartphone.

Disadvantages of using smartphone:

1. The invisible electromagnetic radiation from a smartphone is no doubt, very high for an obvious reason – the internet and close proximity. Although we have the option to work offline, we generally keep our smartphones close to our body(in our pocket) and keep our mobile internet ON 24X7 to stay connected for various important and unimportant reasons. We even dare to keep the phone under the pillow or somewhere near our heads even while we are sleeping. This heavy internet usage and close proximity exposes our body to a lot of harmful electromagnetic radiation that might lead to health problems like brain tumor and skin cancer. Mobile phones can be fatal for people with implants. A patient must keep mobiles away from the spot where the implant is placed as a precautionary measure. The radiation is also harming the life of bees, birds and plants which will cause food and environmental crisis in near future.

2. The HEV light or High Energy Visible Light emitted from the big touchscreen display of a smartphone causes severe eye-strain while spending hours on social media, especially at night when our body needs sleep, and slowly damages the retina and lowers our ability to see.

3. Psychological issues such as loneliness, being suspicious all the time, feeling self-centered etc. is a reality for many smartphone users who spend most of their time believing whatever they see on social media and other services. Frequent and unnecessary notification alerts given by smartphones causes sleep deprivation, distraction, lack of concentration and anxiety.

4. Teenagers, who really need to sleep well at night for physical and mental growth, often stay up late at night watching movies or chatting on their smartphones. This long exposure to the bright light coming off the mobile screen is damaging to the eyes. This also affects the sleep cycle leading to fatigue, sleepiness, anxiety and depression.

5. Spending hours scrolling through social media and texting creates health problems like “Text Neck”, Tennis Elbow”, and “Insomnia”.

6. Although you can activate parental control on your smartphone, your child may get exposed to unwanted things on the internet, which can affect a child’s growth mentally and even physically.

7. Smartphone addiction among children and teenagers is a real cause of concern for parents and concerned people. Mobile radiations may also cause learning disabilities and lowered IQ in infants.

8. Many people forget to socialize in real life after spending hours everyday on social media. Social media addiction is a real thing and it keeps young people away from having real experiences and having real friends, to share their feelings. They also get exposed to online bullying and threats by publishing their personal information and day to day activities on social media.

9. Video game addicts show less interest in outdoor activities and are becoming physically and mentally weak due to lack of exercise and similar physical activities.

10. Online threats like fishing and hacking makes us lose in people around us and anxiety follows. There are apps that steal your data and cause financial damage to people. Keeping all your important and confidential data in one device that you trust blindly is dangerous.

However, there are two sides of a coin. No harm can be caused by a smartphone if you are aware of its pros and cons and have self-control. Wiseness and self-control could save you from many dangers that come with using a smartphone.
