Journal 1



Some people think that smartphone is increasingly become an approach to killing time during mental downtime and gradually take the place of our minds wandering, daydreaming, which is a source of aspiration of creativity. This seems reasonable because too much time spent on mobile devices will inevitably demotivate user’s enthusiasm for learning. In addition, generally speaking, we surf on the Internet just for fun rather than pick up usable resources. Furthermore, mental downtime kindles our imagination to think deeply and arouse some creative ideas hidden in subconscious. In other words, unlocking cellphone is the starting of stifling creativity.

On the other hand, we can not recognize smartphone is a powerful tool, which brings us a convenient and comfortable life. First, we can widen horizons by abundant resources in it and as far as I am concerned, it has become a window to learn about this constant changing world. Second, it enables people get more informative knowledge than before. When you surf on the Internet, especially in some technology forums, it is a friction process of different minds, like brainstorm in a group, which always stimulate sparks for tough task. Last but not least, we need refresh ourselves in sressful daily life; obviously, smartphone is a good choice for its portable and powerful features.         

For the reasons mentioned above, I believe its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Actually, it depends on user how to take advantage of it.

  1. You make a good point-- perhaps what we do on our smartphone in and of itself boosts creativity (sharing ideas with people on forums, etc.). However, what do you think about the people who were simply holding their smartphone "at the ready," yet not really doing anything on them?

  2. I think if the smartphone play an important role in our daily life right now, it must be following the necessary trend. However, more and more people use their smartphones just for fun or just spend their bore time. what do you think about that? Do you still believe its advantages outweigh its disadvantages?

    1. yes! I am aways excited when some high-tec products come out, especially some featured products having great breakthrough in some field. I know every coin has two sides, but I think what we are supposed to do is how to lead people to use them correctly and efficiently rather than thoroughly deny their function in society. Why not put our attention on its benefits, such 3G, 4G communication technology, Apple pay etc., which are outstanding consumption concept or advanced and popular technology currently, based on cellphone platform.
