This topic could most definitely go both ways. I believe smartphones can be both a blessing and a curse. They can seem as if they make life much easier, which in many cases they do. They can also be a bit of a distraction and sometimes be a little too much, too.
Something that everyone loves about a smartphone is all of the great things it has and can do. It is pretty cool how it has things on it like an alarm clock, timer, calculator, maps, and all that fun stuff. It has also been cool to see how much smartphones have evolved and how much they can do now. They are quite handy to have and make things much easier.
On the other side of that, it seems as if everyone only pays attention to their phones and not to each other, which is the downside of it. It seems like texting is the main way of communication at this time and it’t not the best form of communication. These younger generations coming in seem a tad bit awkward in social situations because they are so used to just communicating over text and snapchat, etc. All in all, I believe that this topic could very easily be argued both ways, and I believe both sides are true.
