With the popularity of smart phones and more and more powerful, the Earth is the planet seems to have become a high-tech electronic devices such rule. Smart phones have changed our lives, but it also gives us a series of adverse effects, such as smart phones addiction.
January 2007, the dawn of the smartphone era, when Apple CEO Steve - Steve Jobs face rapt audience in front of the official release of a plastic, metal and silicon manufacturing, Kit Kat chocolate not much larger than the size of a smart phone , which is later sweeping the globe iPhone. Jobs promised: "This thing will change everything." His words no trace of exaggeration.Eight years later, iPhone has become a model of the early 21st century revolutionary technology products.
Triggered a wave of smart phones in part because they are "everywhere." They are the fastest selling product in history, sales grew much faster than the previous non-smart phones. Sales of smart phones are four times more personal computers. Currently, there are about half of all adults have a smart phone, this proportion will reach 80% in 2020. Smartphone tentacles extend to every corner of daily life.

Nearly 80% of smartphone users to view information, news or other services within 15 minutes after getting up, about 10% of people admitted sex using the phone process.
Smart phone is not just a convenient tool call, just like the car engine on wheels, like the watch is not just a timing device. Like cars and watches, smart phones enrich our lives, reshaping the entire industry, so that the whole society has undergone enormous changes. For now, young people, no Snapchat simply can not imagine life.
The power of smart phones from their size and Internet access. Petite size make smart phones become the first truly personal computer on. Smartphone processing power equivalent to a supercomputer in the past, even the most basic models of computer data processing capacity of more than NASA's manned moon landing in 1969 when in use. In the communication between people, the smart phone also plays an important role.
Due to the continuous transmission of data to reduce costs, more and more people to enjoy the smartphone processing power convenience on the move. Since 2005, the price of a megabyte of wireless data traffic down to a few cents from $ 8 and is still declining. Old boring lifeless PC sitting on your desk, you understand that the owner is not much. In contrast, the smartphone can carry.They know where you want to go, what you want to access the site, and who want to talk, or even know your health.
Petite size and Internet access means that the information stored on the smart phone's easy to share and spread. They like a bridge, connecting the world of bits and atoms in the world, connecting professionals and the general public. Uber with cheaper prices will be available near the passenger and driver are connected; Tinder applications are difficult to reduce the user's friends.Future, your smart phone may also give you advice on changing jobs, you do not know the health problems before your appointment to doctor heart murmur.
As with all technology, smart phones let us enjoy a lot of convenience, but also bring a lot of worries, one major worry is the impact of health. "SMS neck" (bow to play phone oppression spine) and other health problems are temporary, others are long-standing worries, such as mobile phone dependence. Reliance is an important indicator of cell phone addiction disorder diagnosis.Excessive dependence on smart phones will cause the user at the time of discovery did not bring the phone into a state of fear, the so-called non-phone phobia. Car and watches, too, some of the people in the car or watch will be no upset.
Another smartphone brings greater worry is the loss of privacy. Smart phones will the people around you become a potential publisher, exposure or your most secret most embarrassing moments. Many mobile application provider - you fully understand - unscrupulous sales data, which are not "moderate" word in terms of information disclosure. Privacy Policy phone Hamlet facing tough choices. According to leaked documents, the British National Communications Intelligence Agency can invade SIM card provider, tapping the user's call. If the democratic state intelligence agencies to make such acts, you can imagine an authoritarian government intelligence agencies will certainly do so. Smart phones will allow dictators have an unprecedented ability to monitor, monitor their political opponents and other opponents every move.
Privacy threats, while smart phones bring three benefits to compensate for this threat. First of all, enjoy the smartphone brings dictator surveillance capability must also face the challenges of their composition. The smartphone is a powerful tool that can be brought together thousands of people. The cheapest smartphone sells for less than $ 40, the price is likely to decline further.Smartphone allows the government to monitor the residents, you can also use the smart phone record atrocities government officials to spread their ideas and objections.

Smartphone is small, but given the enormous energy of individuals, so that people have the ability to challenge the government and authority.
The second big benefit is the ease of the public sector to collect personal data and use these data for the public benefit. Traditional sociology faces a major flaw that only limited data collected.Smartphone is a digital version of the census, so the government depicts richer detail than ever social picture and achieve "real time" word. For anonymous personal data, the government needs to develop appropriate regulatory policies, these data can help governments to optimize traffic, crime prevention and combat epidemics.
The third big benefit is economic. Some studies have found an increase in the 10 mobile phones per 100 people in developing countries have a per capita GDP increased by more than 1%.Smartphone will reshape the entire industry at an unprecedented rate. Now, Uber has become a household name, expand to 55 countries. It is surprising that, Uber From the advent of less than five years now. WhatsApp 2009 released, information processing 10 billion more every day than the global SMS messaging system. Smart phones are an ideal platform for companies to start developing a very low cost applications, test their ideas, if this application is very popular, will soon be going global. This is why the smart phone is able to release the creativity of the world.
Each one groundbreaking technology will bring serious social problems, especially when people get used to them. Smart phone is no exception. If people can not protect themselves against a monitored both eyes, will have to endure the pain of being monitored, and some people just give up and even smartphones. For this problem, the need to form a new social norm, companies must learn to find a balance between privacy and profits. In addition, the government also needs to define "acceptable degree." In just eight years, smartphones have changed the world, and almost all of the above has not yet begun.
