“The furthest distance in the world is that you are playing with your mobile phone while I am by your side.” This ridicule of netizens is the true portrayal of the “mobile phone family”. Since the mobile phone has the title of “smart”, it has become people’s “personal secretary”, meeting our various requirements for Internet, shopping, entertainment, social networking, life services and so on. When people become more and more dependent on mobile phones, the negative effects it brings will also follow – absence of health, estrangement of family ties, leakage of privacy… Precisely for this reason, in recent years, researchers in different fields in many countries around the world have launched a condemnation of the “crime of mobile phones” and called on people to put down their mobile phones. Recently, an article in the Huffington Post of the United States found more sufficient reasons for these appeals.
6 benefits of staying away from mobile phones
Wang Bing, chief researcher of the Asian Institute of positive psychology, told the reporter that from the perspective of psychology, the essence of dependence on mobile phones is dependence on information, and the sense of security can be improved by looking at mobile phones. Zhu Zhuohong, an associate researcher at the Institute of psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, also pointed out that most mobile phone addicts have formed a habitual behavior, and taking out their mobile phones is a subconscious behavior. Some people need to answer the phone at any time due to work constraints, otherwise they are in danger of being “marginalized” in the workplace. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, if you are bound by your mobile phone, you may as well find several reasons to put it down.
1. Let yourself have a good sleep looking at your mobile phone before going to bed will disturb your normal routine. A new survey by the Journal of mass media cultural psychology found that people who frequently watch mobile phones and send text messages during the day have poorer sleep quality.
2. Have a good body mobile phones are “time bombs for health”. In addition to being harmful to the lumbar spine and vision, Australian cancer and neurosurgery expert kurana has found that mobile phones are related to serious health conditions such as brain tumors. Although this conclusion has not been fully confirmed, the research confirms the harm of mobile phones to health.
3. Stay away from pain people ignore the feeling of physical fatigue when playing with mobile phones. In fact, bowing their heads for a long time will lead to spinal compression, neck, head and shoulder pain. A survey by a well-known health care provider in the UK found that 84% of young people aged 18-24 had suffered neck and back pain due to playing mobile phones in the past year.
4. Make travel safer a study in the British Medical Journal found that 1 / 3 of people would text, listen to music and make phone calls while walking, and their probability of ignoring traffic lights was four times higher than that of people who did not send messages; Eighty percent of drivers will make phone calls or send text messages, and the risk of accidents caused by this behavior is four times higher.
5. Make work and study more focused an analysis of a study by the University of Michigan in the United States shows that just sending a text message at work will increase the number of mistakes. This is even more true for students. Research has found that mobile phones will keep people in a multi tasking state. In the long run, attention problems and other problems will appear, affecting children’s creativity and learning ability.
6. Feel family affection we gradually forget the happy gathering time, game interaction, chat and imagination in the past. Interpersonal communication has become “human-computer communication”, snubbing parents, children and lovers, and making ourselves more lonely. Therefore, don’t let your mobile phone become a “third party”. It’s better to put your mobile phone down when you are with your family.
