Nicole , a reporter of CNN addresses the issue that people should quit spending the whole day on smartphones. This article begins to describe an advantage of smartphones, and then quickly notes the disadvantages. Next, the article states that smartphones make human lives more convenient, but people look like zombies as they focus on their phone all day even if they walk on the street.

Finally, the author acknowledges that people should keep smartphone away except for emergency.

               In conclusion, using smartphone not only beneficial but also harmful. I agree that if we keep using smartphone, it is not a good thing to do every day. Also, people should start to quit this addiction and they need to communicate by face to face. Nevertheless, the author fails addresses how people can change their habits and what benefits would people get if they had fixed their behavior. However, I disagree that people should keep their smartphone away because smartphones help people not only in work but also in life. Consequently, people could keep using smartphone, but they shouldn’t depend on it too much.
