“Your cell phone has already replaced your watch, alarm clock and calendar. Don’t let it replace your family.” The author of this quote is unknown, but what is clear is that in the past several years the use of the so-called smart phone has dramatically increased; this situation has caused many people to change the way they spend their free time. Due to this increase in screen time, many people spend less time enjoying and interacting with their family, tending to the emotional needs of their loved ones, or being healthy examples of how to put down their phones and pick up a book. Young people, in particular, are suffering the most, as their parents stare at their phones instead of interacting with their children or doing wholesome family activities together. Children are indoors more than they used to be, they are neglected for the sake of their parents' fear of missing out on social media, and they, themselves, are becoming equally addicted to the screen. Since the invention of the smartphone, technology has worked against the tradition of family togetherness, causing great harm to an entire generation of young people.
