I recently damaged my phone,bought a new phone…not to forget the time I had to go without phone did make me feel crippled…well the new handset reads “ Never Settle”(pun intended)

Life was much easier when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits! Ain’t it?

Our Smartphone have turned into a tool that provides short, quick, immediate satisfaction, which is very triggering. Connected as they are to the internet, they can tell you how to cure an ache, how quick fix a Thai meal, the meaning of the word “antediluvian” and directions to nearest metro .

Gaze at some facts before we go ahead:
1.Most people can’t survive even one day without phone
2. Experts say that without time away from your phone, your nervous system stays in fight-or-flight mode, making you both wired and tired all the time
3. 1 in 2 people say that if they wake up in the middle of the night without any reason, they will check their phone
4.95% of people have stated that they text, browse the web, or watch TV in the hour before finally falling asleep
5.More than 4 billion people own mobile phones. But only 3.5 billion use a toothbrush.
6.Within 3 minutes of delivery, 90% of text messages are read

Let’s look in a nutshell the pros and cons of a cordless life..
Forty years ago when Martin Coop of Motorola stood out in Midtown Manhattan the revolutionary scene, would seem comical to us now. The phone, a Motorola Dynatac, weighed over two pounds, almost a foot long, and only delivered 20 minutes of battery time.Just four decades later, smartphones, live in the pocket or purse of nearly everyone.

See how cordless techno have been both a been a boon & bane…

The good part is:
GPS- The days of the humiliating “pull-over-and-ask-for-directions” detour are over. Simply plug in the address or business name, and your GPS-enabled phone provides turn by turn directions.Wait this is not it,see short cuts,traffic snarls,food joints all along the route

App-extravaganza- Mobile apps started out as toys–ringtones, arcade games, calendars and calculators–but have since completely revolutionized cell phone technology. Apps turn our phones into pedometers, personal trainers, tuning forks, shopping guides, nutritionists, music libraries, stores, televisions and more.
Instant access to friends,entertainment,games,search engine,updates,Picutres oh so perfect….to name a few and then opens the pandoras Box….

Not So good part:
Health issues- Physical problems like “text neck” and “cell phone elbow” have also been described by the medical community in the last few years.
There are Constant distractions like pressure to reply,taking work home, changing the display picture,updating status etc.
Real world connections- are missing.Instant gratification provided by these modern toys make us misfits for the sordid world ahead.We become the REEL and No REAL ones!!

Knowing it all India has become the second-biggest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone users, crossing 220 million users, surpassing the US market, according to a report by Counterpoint Research. With the cellphone replacing so many gadgets (like alarm clock, radio, watch) and even things like calendars and maps, it’s no wonder that we’re increasingly dependent on this device. Smartphones are fun, but when they start detracting from our lives and our interactions with actual human beings, it’s probably time to dial it back.

Where is the hurricane?Can’t we have a day without beeps,rings and vibrations? Don’t we all have atleast one of the memories associated to waiting at the P.C.O shop or a no phone day? Were not we happy then…Is it so difficult to enjoy your morning Cuppah joe without a phone in hand?
This is the age when all of us know both the sides of the coin…You are an actual SMART smart phone user only if YOU know which side of the coin is a flip side!!! Choose yours
