Although several years ago we can hardly find people rely on phones such seriously. It is mainly because the rapid development of social network software in addition to the progress of communication technology. In the past few years, most of SNS can only operate on the computer. With few advanced social network sites had applications, people have to reach a computer to update their blog and comment on others.
Nowadays we are able to read news, check emails, write blogs and visit friends' website wherever we want as well as having a smart phone installed with such apps and internet available. People can show their life to others through SNS as soon as something is happening such as eating a delicious dinner, watching a wonderful movie or just successfully buy an iphone6. They also obtain the feedback from others very quickly which is benifit for promoting relationships. But if we all active on line but busy looking at phones when we meet each other, is it really good for social development?

Indeed, the function that we post our SNS message has been changed. our mobile device have been more powerful then ever before. SNS have also change our habit a lot. And it may cause some social problem and personal mental illness.

回复删除Really? It seems I have been addicted in the SNS on smart phone as you said! It is not a very good news. I will try to correct that bad habit since it is do harm to my eyes and the degree of myopiaof of my right eye has risen 50 in past 4 years. It seems not rapid in speed but it should not change after being an adult in theory on common conditions.
删除It is true that we sometime paid more attention into the virtual world than people in the real world. As discussed with other classmates, social media certainly bring people closer to each other by sharing their own stories regardless of distance. However, like what you have observed that people may sometime over-use the technology and ignore things / people that physically exist around us. Maybe , Only time can tell us whether we can achieve a balance between that.
回复删除It is very easy to be addicted in the world of smartphone. My parents hated them and didn't allow me to use social network in the beginning. But now they seem more addicted than me. I think everyone may have this period when obsessed with social networks. And the society may judge whether it is proper.
回复删除Everything has two sides. We can hardly find people rely on phones such seriously before. It is mainly because the rapid development of social network software in addition to the progress of communication technology.
