Since the smartphones have become popular, many people have noticed that they have separated us rather than united us.

We must fight these problems so that we can still use our gadgets for their real desire-to improve and facilitate our lives-and to know when to stay away from them.

Use Apps Productively
The smartphones were made on the assumption that we would use them for good, not evil. And yes, spend 12 hours in a row, watching the video clips, and then somehow, on the weird side of YouTube, it's evil. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
