Smartphones Have You Hooked – Smart Glasses Won’t Save You

Gone are those days when we could feel blessed for not having the phone in one's hands for at least an hour or so after waking up. Once someone wakes up, a phone just within an arm's reach is almost a form of reverence towards the device, and the same phone is the last thing they see before gradually dozing off. Smart glasses are thought by many to be the potential cure to these problems. Could this be a possible statement?

Smartphones Troubles: The Next Big Mental Complexity

Phones are now essential in every facet of our lives: connecting, entertaining, working, learning, ordering food, and more. Staring at screens for long hours, being occupied on social media, and stretching their mobile usage into almost addictive proportions are acts akin to digital addiction.

Experts said that due to the abuse of smartphones, several people suffer from attention deficit, sleeplessness, problems with their vision, and stress, all from the screen time. The introduction of new technologies could free us from that, and smart glasses are just one of those.

Smart Glasses: Real Relief or Just Another Addiction?

Smart glasses are technologies that can display virtual information in front of your eyes, including information, picture taking, and hands-free calling, among others. So, this begs the question: do they really work to combat phone addiction?

By the way, smart glasses can never replace smartphones; instead, they will create another form of device dependence. Addiction will, in fact, ramp up rather than slow down, given that the already user-distracting notifications that bombard us via smartphones will now be there, right in our line of vision.

So, what's Next?

This kind of technology has to die an unceremonious death: One that disrespects our lifestyle and our relaxation. Engage technology: Put your phones down at certain times, restrict social media usage, and cherish days spent with family and greenery.

Conclusion

Solutions do not lie in technologies like smart glasses or smartphones. They lie in our approach. Technology should make life simpler and easier. It is high time we ask ourselves, "Am I using technology, or is technology using me?"
