(For or against) What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a smartphone?

Nowadays having an smartphone is the most usual thing, in fact, people that don’t have an smartphone do something out of the ordinary and we look at them like if they were weird people. It seems that everybody is interested in smartphones , and that most people would not be able to live without having one . However , there are advantages and disadvantages.

The main advantage of having an smartphone is probably how easy is your life with this on it. You can talk with a friend that it is a thousand kilometers away from you and on a free way . This really help you to keep on touch with your friends all over the world. In addition , because of recession people are moving on into another countries. In old times you  could only talk with your family by letter. Fortunately , now you can be talking with them all the time  without paying anything. I hold the view that that is a quite good improvement in our lifestyle.

On the other hand,for every plus there is a minus. Every time we go out we need to take with us our phones because If we don’t take with us our phones, we feel like naked. That’s because we know that we miss something. We are losing manners . When we go out with our friends pretending to have fun we can not have fun because we are all the time playing an chatting with our phone . So it’s difficult to pay attention to our friends at the same time that we are paying attention to our phone.

In conclusion , it’s true that having a smartphone help us to have friend but also makes us lose real friends just because we are more interested on our virtual friends when we are with the real ones. I think that having an smartphone it’s really good but the only way to keep having manners it’s by trying not to pay attention to our phones when we go out . We should pay attention to our  phone just in case anybody needs us.
