Pros & Cons to owning a Smartphone?
Case
What are the pros & cons to owning a smartphone? I have a "dumb phone" - motorola razr and don't want to upgrade. Do you think more people have Smartphones than "dumb phones?
I know what a smartphone is - my sister and her fiance have iphones. My husband and I do not have smartphones, nor do we want them. We are in our mid-30's. People think we are strange because we have no interest in getting one. They are too expensive and everyone is on their phone all the dang time - it's actually kind of annoying. Boooo to smartphones - we are pretty much anti-smartphone people.
Answer
CONS
Constant Distraction. As if social networking sites werenât enough of a distraction, now we can take them wherever we go! On several occasions Iâve had some people almost run into me because they were so engrossed in their phone. Smart phones are shrinking our attention spans.
Taking work home. If computers and e-mail werenât enough of an excuse for you to be on the clock 24/7 then mobile devices sure are. You can take work with you wherever you go. Now thereâs absolutely no excuse not to do work. Smartphones make it that much more difficult to leave work at work. You know what they say: âall work and no playâ¦â
Addiction. I donât know about you, but I often find myself checking Facebook several times a day. Even worse is when I plan on quickly checking updates and wind up perusing peopleâs photos and statuses. Itâs not that I intend to spend hours of my day on social networking sites, but one thing leads to another and before I realize it an hour or two has gone by.
Impatience. If you donât think that the latest, greatest technology causes impatience I want you to stop and think of two words: dial up. Just think of how impatient you get waitingâ¦gaspâ¦30 seconds for a video to load. Okay maybe your not guilty of this, but I am not afraid to admit that I am. Weâre so used to getting everything that we want instantaneously that when we have to wait a little bit it gets irritating.
PROS
Instant information. If youâre anything like me, you feel the need to Google anything and everything. Who was that actor in the movie we were watching the other day? Google. What is the thirteenth letter of the Greek alphabet? Google. Why does Charlie Sheen like the word #winning so muchâ¦.you get the picture.
Real-time conversations. Yes social networking means keeping up with your friends and family more easily. But think of the implications it has for you as a public relations practitioner. You can monitor whatâs being said about your organization at virtually any time; so if a story breaks, youâre on top of it. If you think sites like Twitter and Facebook are just a âfad,â then you may want to look into some infographics on social media.
Convenience. Remember the pre-mobile days? Or even the pre-internet days? Pay phones, phone books, paper maps, paper books, word-of-mouth, encyclopediasâ¦the list could go on and on. Now all of those tools are in our mobile devices. We have the ability to look up restaurants, movies, etc. when weâre out and about. It makes life a lot easier.
Technological Smarts. Mobile apps are where itâs at. The biggest reason for my decision to get a smart phone is because I simply donât want to get behind. The longer you wait to familiarize yourself with new technology the more behind you seem to get. With the quick pace at which technology moves a new system could be released before you even understand the old one. If PR practitioners want to be able to understand the stakeholders they serve, then they have to be familiar with the technology thatâs being used. Donât believe that use of mobile web is significant? Check out some smart phone usage statistics.
