Say NO to Smart Phones
Smart phones are great but with great power comes great responsibilities.
Here are top seven reasons why you shouldn't get a smart phone.
1) Cost. Buying an Iphone or BB + 12 month usage fees lets you use your mobile phone free for the next four years (800b/month).
2) Privacy. Do you feel guilty not answering to a BB, Push Mail or Email when you know you have access to? What would be your excuse when people know you are always 'reachable'?
3) Safety. When you lose a smart phone, all your contacts and the convenient access to your 'personal information' are at risks.
4) Technology Addiction. Having the greatest and latest makes you feel on top of the game but it also make you be the first to run out to the store when the newer smart phones are out.
5) Diminish Social Skills. People with smart phones tend to communicate less in social settings because they are too busy updating their status in the digital world.
6) Traffic Accidents. Because it lets you do more than just calling and sending SMS, people who use a smart phone have higher risks when driving.
7) Ruining Life Surprises. What's the fun of living when you know exactly where to go, what to do and what to expect? Fun and freedom to explore are now taken away.
