Your mobile phone is ruining your relationship

News

It is a common trend to spot people glued to their cell phones 24/7 texting, making calls or playing games. This is a 21st century behavior that majority have embraced.

With good rates of services we have such as Storo bonus and other free call offers, people are now communicating solely via phones.

People are able to send as many texts as they want and make calls as if they are employees in the treasury.

The trend is slowly phasing out our communication skills as many will prefer to text or call other than having face to face communication. Take for instance some of the texts people send. The grammar is pathetic and abbreviations are the order of the day.

Sometime parents face a hard time when decoding and interpreting messages sent to them by theirs sons and daughters. Worse is when students and job seekers extend the same habit in class work and when seeking a job.

Furthermore many will be less engaged in talking one on one because they don’t want to miss a group chat on Whatsapp, Facebook Twitter or want to chat with their lovers and friends. We are creating a society where communication is ineffective and highly dependent on cell phones.

In addition, people run the risk of starving simply because they can miss meals and instead play games, make calls or text. Unfortunately once you’re an addict your life will tied to the phone and in case you don’t have your phone, you will be subjected to unrelenting stress.

Have you ever imagined refraining from your mobile phone a single hour or day? I bet you will regret why you are so addicted to games and the internet.

Some people will even ignore others simply because they are so committed to their games and can’t pay attention until they accomplish their mission. We have treasured our phones more than our lives.

In relationships, it has been a poisonous venom that has killed many relationships. Many partners are left in rude shock when they have snooped on their partners’ phones and discover that they are being cheated on.

It is healthy and less costly to still use traditional means of doing things other than depending on cell phones entirely.

Research has also shown the negative effects of overreliance on cell phones. No matter how small they may be we cannot ignore their impact on our lives especially relationships.
