What is your most common sight when you are in a lounge, at the table, or even having a class whose substance is boring? That is fiddling with phone, which is a common phenomenon around the world. In fact, these people don’t deliberately make this performance, but have no intention. The behavior which is unconscious and greatly affects people’s daily life needs more attention paid for.
For instance, most white collars always keep their mobile phones on call for almost 24 hours a day. In addition, they will check whether there is a missed call from time to time. If it takes long time but there’s no ringing phone, they will doubt if there’re no phone charges. This happens more than work in time. As for housewives, who are infatuated with shopping on line, they have formed a habit of Browsing Webpages of Taobao to look after special offers even if they are not urgently needed or useless to some extent.
To our undergraduates, it seems inevitable to enter the cyberspace. If we have an essay to write, we need to dig information on the internet. If we have a subject to complete, we need the help of others research results as reference. When we are bored, whatever the circumstances are, we are able to fiddle with the mobile phone to have fun. Even though we are not bored, we take bringing the phone always with us for granted because we must check out the time or just glance at the screen for nothing. We are to be this way. How crazy it is! Why we must turn to Internet instead of ourselves when finishing our homework. Why we must make ourselves stuck in the standard answer box when the subject needs more creativity. Undergraduates do need cyberspace to do favor for studying instead of being independent on it.
Speaking strictly for me, after using network often, I can apparently feel my level of spelling has descended. I usually have vague impression on one word but I can’t complete the whole word when I do some English exercises, which is grievous to me.
In a world, entering into cyberspace is a great development to the world, which indeed provides convenience for people. However, what’s most worth paying more attention to is appropriate use of network. Only if used in moderation, can the internet plays the most effective role in our life. Therefore, from now on, Let’s try to remove the habit of always holding the phone and have more interaction with others.
There was a great Dilbert cartoon in the papers yesterday. The pointed haired boss says: you have a smartphone with a large screen, yet do do not do work on it when walking around. You are cheating the company of time!
