17.Let me start by saying that I don't have a smartphone,but I probably will in the future.I think smartphones are basically awesome and I have nothing against the basic idea of using smartphones.
My problem starts when the lines between fun and work,between alone and together,between communication and confusion-become blurred.I've just returned from two years in a different country,and haven't been around my friends for a while.The first several times I met them all,I was surprised to discover that even though we're all sitting around in the same room,people are actually sitting around smartphones and playing/surfing/taking pictures.
Smartphones made it easier than ever before to access e-mails everywhere.Whether you're on the bus,in bed or at the bar with your friends-your e-mails are right there and available to you and this can definitely be a problem.Work is great,but is answering e-mails at 3a.m.really necessary?Do you really want to have to choose between friends and work when you're hanging out in a bar,just because you happened to see that e-mail?
Smartphones revolutionized our lives.I'm not here to oppose that.But should they replace many of the other things we used to be doing,together and alone?If you think about it for a minute,I'm sure you'll find someone you know who sometimes finds it hard to draw the line between phone time and people time.This has been a problem for a while,but smartphones make it that much worse.So don't throw away your smartphones just yet; but do try to remember,at the end of the day,they're just phones!

分析 本文主要講的是作者對于使用手機(jī)的態(tài)度--作者認(rèn)為手機(jī)是很棒的東西,一點也不反對使用手機(jī);但問題是很多人劃不清"使用手機(jī)"和"與人相處時間"的界限.
