Nowadays a person can get an app for almost anything. I have a friend who needs to know the weather for the week because of his job, and with his smartphone he can easily get an app that allows him to check the weather easily. From calculators, alarms, social media and even heart rate monitors. It is all these reasons, and many more, that attract so much attention and love to smartphones. However, this love for smartphones has been taken a step too far. Something I have seen on several occasions is this very real and growing dependence on smartphones. This addiction can be seen in classrooms, parks, events and all other life situations. There are people who refuse to give up their smartphone for an hour and a half of class, as if it were a treasure they can't part with. They are evaluating a smartphone over education. These people would much rather scroll through Instagram or text their friends that they can't wait. This smartphone addiction is corrupting the education of everyone who uses it
