DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Technology is our great ally and problem solver, but also an element that help with writing a research paper.
Are university students an easy target for falling into dependence on the smartphone and its negative effects?
The digital disconnection is beginning to be a right for many employees, while at the same time it should be an obligation for university students.
Possibly, few students would raise their hand if they were asked if they had ever forgotten their smartphone at home and moved on without turning around to pick it up.
This indicates that many college students are not able to spend their school day without their cell phone and be immediately aware of all the notifications and messages they receive.
Many will excuse such an attitude in that the smartphone is a key tool for attending class and being able to access the virtual classroom or consult information.
They are right, but we must not forget that there are many other resources and that the priority in a class should be the subject that the teacher will explain and taking notes to better process the information.
Similarly, time off can be used more profitably, since the tendency is to go directly to the mobile phone, instead of engaging in conversation with colleagues, put the notes in order, do some reading or simply walk around the campus and recover energy.
It is clear that in the digital age, it is impossible to ignore technologies and it is necessary to understand the potential of their use and how to use them to have a promising professional development. But the key is to understand what is use, what is abuse, and where one begins to consider dependency.
When does a university student abuse a mobile phone?
It is easy to recognize signs that you are suffering from dependency with your smartphone and that you need a rigorous control or rules on its use. The difficult thing is to be aware of it and be willing to change habits.
If you are in class and your attention is focused on your mobile every 15 minutes, your ability to follow your teacher will obviously be quite diminished.
Likewise, if at the end of your day in class, you have not shared many words with your classmates and have isolated yourself with your smartphone screen, it is another great warning sign.
Another symptom you should look at is the way you study or do your homework, how productive you are, your ability to concentrate and how that translates into good results and personal satisfaction.
Finally, don't forget that not all information resides in the sources you consult on the Internet, and that the library and the reference readings of each teacher should not be overlooked.
All you have to do is propose to make a more responsible and controlled use of your smartphone, and analyse all the advantages and improvements that you obtain with this new attitude.
