Put down the phone and live in the moment

Have you ever unintentionally left your phone at home and wondered how you would get through the day? Baylor College of Medicine’s Dr. Jin Han explains why this might be a sign that you need to put down your phone more often.

“There has been a(n)     1     in technology as our phones have gone from just regular cell phones to smart phones that allow you to multitask all with one device,” said Han, assistant professor at Baylor. “You use your phone now to receive emails, to text and chat and to access social media platforms --     2     your phone may be your connection to your social life.”

Although they offer many advantages, Han cautions that using your smart devices can be harmful if you use them too much. For example, using your smart phone while driving, or even walking, can cause serious accidents. Also, staring at your screen for too long can be harmful to your     3    .

Being     4     too long to your phone also can impact the quality of your relationships, he said. If you are on your phone constantly and not     5     with those around you, it can take away from your relationships with your family and friends. In addition, if you are using your phone too much in front your children, then they will likely follow your lead and use their own smart devices rather than     6     with you.

“ In the end, the question is how you balance using your phone while not negatively     7     your health.” Han said. “Anything that you are doing to the     8     is no healthy anymore. While it is going to be almost impossible not to use this technology, we have t create a behavior that is healthy.”

To help     9     the time you spend on your phone, Han offered the following tips:

Limit the time spent on your phone: Set up certain time that you allow yourself to be on the phone.

Do not use your phone at night: Being on your phone late into the night can make it harder for you to fall asleep and wake up the next day. Restricting your phone use at night can help you     10     a healthy sleep behavior.

Computer Under Skin

Can you imagine wearing a computer under your skin in the future?

Amal Graffstra, a writer and technology initiator, has already had a chip     1    in his hand. “I use it to log into my computer and share contact details with people,” he says. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and responds to radio     2    with a unique number for identification recognition.

Actually, one day, we might have smart tattoos. The company NewDealDesign came up with an idea for a product, which would look like a pair of tattoos on your arms and the side of your thumb, but it would be     3    a very thin computer embedded just below your skin, so that you could use it to unlock doors,     4    your health, exchange and store information, or even express your personality. “We     5    it will be about five years before it comes into reality,” says designer Gadi Amit.

If a     6    tattoo isn’t crazy enough for you, what about a brain chip? The company Intel is working on technology that would let you control your devices with your mind. Dean Pomerleau, one of the researchers, explains, “We’re trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves...Imagine being able to surf the Internet with the power of your     7    .”

Others worry about hacking and     9    .Could someone steal your identity via computers, or even control your mind? On a more     10    level, if you have a computer inside your body, are you still man?

Staying Connected Far from Home

In Chad, the refugee camp of Danamadja stands in the midst of a forest. Here, staying connected is a challenge. “Most of the young people who want to use the Internet have to walk long distances to connect to the network,” says Mahamat Djida, 25, who owns a phone-charging     1     . “People here have really weak and unstable service but they have no option, compared with those who are     2     in the world.”

In addition to helping stay in touch with families and friends, mobile phones and the Internet offer young people opportunities to cope with life in the camp. Adam Souleymane, a 16-year-old     3     boy, said, “I bought a phone and now I use the Internet to do research, especially in biology. There is no library in the camp.” He is very     4     of his new smartphone.

It is vital to advocate for improved access to     5     technologies and support for youth seeking to use them to solve the issues that affect their lives.     6     some plans made by several mobile applications can help children and young people born of     7     be more independent. They can be used for instant communication and activities that address     8     needs. These plans allow customers to access     9     content for free or at low cost when they sign up with certain service providers. As children reach adulthood and enter the world of work, connectivity will increasingly mean the difference between their ability to       10     a decent living or not. Those with access to digital technologies and the skills to make the best use of them will have the advantage over those who are unconnected and unskilled.
