Cellphone Addiction People are prisoners of phones; that's why it's called a "cell" phone. –Anonymous. Technology has become one of the most crucial tools in pandemics, and the survey of cellphones use has increased in the last two years. They are constantly using cellphones from people wakes up until sleep. It has affected the person's mind. Many people use their cell phones so much that some have become addicted to them, both adults and children, and as a consequence, the excessive use has caused family problems, poor school performance, and car accidents. Although it sounds strange, family problems, such as physical and verbal aggression, lack of attention, and communication. The cellphone mismanagement has caused people to reject physical contact and be angry because they feel busy while they are just on social networks. According to the psychiatrist, Dr. Carlos Vera stated that these devices generate a false sensation of being accompanied and make us not feel rejected, which is why many get 'hooked' and generate an increase in a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which creates withdrawal syndrome or dependence. That is to say that the excessive use of these cell phones has already caused society to need to use them at every moment to give peace of mind to our anxiety of needing them for any reason. Today, we have a problem which is the reduction of school performance, and year by year the students think just about when to use their cell phones, which do not allow them to focus their minds while they are doing their assignments. Studies have shown that even myopia in children under 12 years of age has been caused by the incorrect use of smartphones since most children tend to continue playing until late at night. Sadly, some children have died because their anxiety about using the cell phone is so big that they cannot bear to listen to their parents when they forbid them to use it. Secondly, the constant use of cell phones while driving is one of the causes of traffic accidents worldwide. It is sad to know that a cell phone is more important than life. The poor focus while driving has caused that many people or animals die. I have seen how people prefer to answer a call than to check if something or someone is in front of them; while they are driving. Finally, we must learn how to use cell phones correctly. We already know that the smartphone is the fastest and easiest tool for long-distance communication on the planet, but we should not miss that the people, who are next to us, need attention and communication. Never lose the love that every family needs and likewise provide an example to children the importance of outdoor activities.
