is an article written by Anna Scantlin. Within this article, she covers how smartphones have progressed and whether or not people including herself have become addicted to them.
This article stood out to me because she has written it from her own point of view of how smartphones can make life easier and how she personally uses a smartphone, which affects the social aspects of her life.
Throughout this article Scantlin goes in to detail about how it is much more convenient to use a smartphone to contact other people, when you are sitting in your house in pyjamas for example, and how leaving the house for communication is no longer necessary.
Things such as applications on smartphones are also brought up in this article - how you can use online banking from a phone instead of going out to the bank or how you can order food from a phone instead of going out and buying it or actually talking to someone over phone to order it.
Whilst these things are extremely handy, it seems as though we may be heading towards lives and a society which are very anti-social.
