A number of scientific studies have been carried out to determine the effects of smartphone on relationships and friendships.
The studies found out that addiction to smartphones is affecting relationships and friendships in various negative ways.
You can agree with him that you would feel rejected or ignored when talking to someone who is busy on his/her smartphone.
It will make you feel annoyed and the result of it is eruption of fight that will strain the relationship or friendship.
Smartphones aren’t to be blamed for this recent phenomenon. The serve us right on diverse ways. The problem is the users or owners of the phones. They are obsessed with their smartphones to the point the smartphone has replaced their partners or friends.
King Solomon, the wisest man on earth said, “There is a time for everything. A time to sow and a time to reap…” Of course, we can’t deny smartphones are not allowed in examination rooms. Then, why not use the same principle when conversing with our loved ones and friends?
If only people would realize smartphones can never replace a human being.

My opinion is that phones and computers have a great impact on relationships. Of course, this is not the fault of these devices, but the human being.
You are right. It’s us human beoiny who are at fault. They are good but we don’t use them during the right time.
I agree. People are different. I’m not good at socializing. I prefer reading, researching and writing.
I Agree With carol There is no fault of the phone
Yah, the phone has no fault. The one who is using it has to learn how to use it at the right time and at the right place.
It is not the fault of the phone. It is the operator. Just like with gun control.
I agree. The owners of the phones are to be blamed. In fact, about gun control; the Russian who invented AK-47 died a miserable man. He never anticipated the gun would be used in the manner it is nowadays. He regretted having invented this type of gun.
Yes our smart phone is breaking our human Interaction and relation
It shows the kind of influence future human robots will have on us. But, I think we’re to be blamed on how we use our smartphones.
I have to say I have a smartphone and I hate it. I would much rather have the good old home phone but a smartphone has some upside like in the case of an emergency on the road etc. I hate texting and receiving text messages. Most of them present useless content. But another plus of a smartphone is internet access just about everywhere. Another downside of smartphone is the way some people are so addicted to it and social media and texting that they do not see where they are going. I recently had to literally stop a young woman from crossing a heavy traffic intersection on a red light because her eyes were glued to the phone…
It’s good you saved that young woman. These smartphones are making us too busy. While I’m not good in socializing online or offline, I usually use smartphone to learn more, research and write (and play games).
It’s sad that the smartphones have reduced people into some kind of robots.
The race to connectivity produced the smartphone. The arrival of the smartphone used that connectivity more.
It is a phase. Things will stabilize!e!
I hope things will stabilize. It’s quite becoming a phenomenon that even in class students are busy on their phones while the teacher is teaching.
It is a phase. The reality of being a teacher (I was for 7 years) is there is always something to compete with.
Children that don’t get enough sleep.
Children that don’t get food (dinner, breakfast)
and so much more!
The wonder of the world is that teachers succeed!
Hahaha, I had to smile. I agree with you fully.
