If we can say that cell phones have changed people’s connection in society, smart phones have changed the life style in some aspects. Smart phones now become more and mare intelligent, and they can even replace the laptops as mobile terminals. It means that smart phones cannot only achieve some computer functions, but also can they be friendlier in UI (User Interface). I usually use my smart phone in connecting with other people, browsing some interesting news, listening some music or doing some purchase. Of course, there are still millions of apps that can achieve kinds of functions I haven’t used. But if we use them more frequently, electricity power will consume faster. Battery useful life becomes a big problem, which limit the customers’ usage. However, spending too much time in smart phones is not a good choice in our daily life. It brings some physical or mental discomfortableness and even dereism. For example, most people would feel their phones in ringing or shaking without any new messages or calls, so would I. I have to check my phone hundreds of time in one day, so it really confuses me very much. But comparing to missing some important messages or calls, it can be accepted.

Interesting that thinking your phone is ringing when it's not has a legitimate term. This just shows us how adaptable society is to the technology around us. Thanks for your input, Daniel.
ReplyDeleteThe battery is, indeed, a problem for the smartphones. But if we can reduce the frequency of using our phones, the lack of electricity would no longer be a trouble, since it is not a good choice to spend too much time on the phones. Besides this, it can fix your confusion as well.

I strongly agree what you defined for feeling vibration and hearing ringing around. I have those kinds of experiences before, and I guess it may comes from illusion. Do you know if this is kind of pathomimesis or not? You article gives me a clear sight that you know this area well, so do you have interesting for taking research together?
