The mobiles have become an important part of our lives, so much so that sometimes we seem absorbed by all the information and entertainment that these devices offer us. Mobile phones have many good things and many advantages, but they are also showing their bad side in many aspects, since there are people who cannot live without them and who even have behavioral problems related to these mobiles.
You can make a positive and responsible use of mobiles and the social networks that have given so much to talk about. This is important if we want to face all the challenges that these devices pose us and that continue to be conflictive, such as the protection of privacy or social relationships. It is in our power to make the best use of mobile phones.
Control the time you spend with your mobile
We spend more and more time with our mobile, something that can harm us because we reduce leisure time and rest time or even time to spend with our friends or family. We have the feeling that we are always in a hurry but we can spend several hours connected to mobile phones and social networks. That is why applications like Instagram already allow us to see the daily hours that we spend on the social network and also the media and even let us put a notice so as not to exceed a time limit. It is a good idea to set a fixed limit on the use of social networks and the Internet to avoid getting hooked, since everything can lead to us spending more and more time connected. If we limit our time we will realize that we do not need to spend so many hours in front of a screen and that it actually hurts us.
Useful apps
It is better to have applications that are useful to us on the mobile, since otherwise we run the risk of being hooked for many hours looking at everything in them. Having game or store applications only makes us spend more hours on the Internet without really bringing us something good. In reality, the vast majority of applications are consumer-oriented, so we end up spending more almost without realizing it. It is important choose well the applications that we leave on the mobile and it would be better to leave those that are going to be useful to us and avoid those that make us waste time or consume excessively. This is something that we can also control but we must avoid certain temptations.
Use your mobile as a tool
Mobile phones are tools that have made life easier for us in many ways and sometimes we seem to forget about it. In a mobile we have calculator, calendar, notes, we can write down tasks and set alarms, in addition to having maps in real time, being able to see the weather and have all the information we need with search engines like Google. It is a really useful tool for all kinds of things in life, in our day to day life, but only if we know how to make good use of the mobile phone and avoid using it in such a way that we are absorbed and controlled by the Internet world and all its information.
Be careful with the social networks
Social networks are the ones that have caused the most problems for everyone. There are people who are hooked on the use of these networks in which we see other people's lives of people that sometimes we don't even know. Many people sell lives that are not even authentic and a lifestyle that almost no one can afford, creating a feeling of failure in the face of a reality that is never so sweetened. That is why we have to be aware of the use made of social networks and that a good or even fictitious side of certain lives is always shown, to avoid the harmful effects of these social networks.
