Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.
At parties, people focus more on their smartphones than on their drinks.According to a recent study from International Data Corporation, over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day.In addition, too many people are using smartphones while driving and as a result，they get into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that texting messages is the major interruption while driving.People's attachment (依恋) to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.When with their friends, some people pointlessly(无谓地) check or send messages in the presence of their friends, which means that their friends are less important.In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantages as making new friends in the real world.Face-to-face conversations will give us the chance to improve our communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages，smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.The technology shows the achievement weaken the value of communication.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact face to face，but it is also lowering people's ability to communicate.
