Sometimes I do wonder how the world would be like without digital advancement in the areas of smartphones because these days people tend to do a lot with their phones and it has kept them more occupied that ever before.
So the question of if people would be happier and less stressed if smartphone never existed is one that I would give the answer that yes people would be less stressed and happier if smartphones never existed.
For example, I saw the time before smartphone began to circulate among our parents back then and everybody was quite satisfied with the situation of things, families were more involved in each other and did things together that brought more about unity, people minded their business and did not have to take pictures or videos of anybody without their permission, everything was just calm as there was no addiction to phones. Children were allowed to play and have fun times with their friends unlike today that teenagers can stay in their phones all through playing games watching negatively influenced videos, chatting with friends or stranger.
It's not like bad things were not happening back then but it was more reduced than when the smartphone started coming up and by smartphone I mean one that can browse the internet and watch videos and pictures.
In our current society we can see that people have become a victim of addiction to their smartphone to the extent that some people have been involved in fatal accidents because they were distracted and focused on their phones.
Again the damage the smartphone is doing to our youths is so alarming but you would see a secondary school student performing and engaging in unlawful activities on social media platforms unlike before when students just wants to read a novel and partake in extra curricular activities or games.
This was back in the day but in our current society the smartphone has done some good as it has enhanced communication amongst family and friends to different platform such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. I remember back then we used to send letters to my grandmother who was in another state different from us but today we can conveniently make calls from the comfort of our homes.
In conclusion, there are ways that phones has stressed the human life to a point that people have become addicted to this rectangle shaped box.
