Reading this on a smartphone? Are you in a public space or in a company? Perhaps at home with the family? Chances are you are in one of these situations. Photographer Eric Pickersgill focused on our obsession with smartphones and removed smartphones from photos to show just how addicted we are to them. We look pretty funny without them, don't you think?
Smartphone
Smartphones have radically changed our lives. In the first breath, we will say that for the better, because in many cases they have made our lives easier, but after a little longer consideration, the pluses will quickly be lost in the minuses. We have ourselves to blame for this. We started exaggerating, and as we know, no exaggeration is good. Many studies thus confirm the many negative consequences of smartphones on our mental and physical health, so it is high time to cure this addiction. Which can be difficult. That's why we've prepared a technology cure, a detox with a doable weekly plan to wean yourself off your smartphone to successfully cut the umbilical cord.
Phubbing is poison. It is the culprit for the breakup of many relationships. It is a new phenomenon that is the result of the growth of smartphones. We have become so addicted to them that they have become annoying. Not only did they change our communication and behavior in society, but they also started destroying relationships. We spend more and more time looking at the phone screen, and we neglect the people around us more and more. This 21st century phenomenon is known as phubbing and is often the cause of relationship problems. Are you also a "victim" of phubbing?
With the last conference, Microsoft gave a lot of work to the competition, as it presented a range of exceptional technological products that are one step ahead of others. One of these is the Lumia 950 smartphone (and even more so the 950 XL), which will also shake up the world of personal computers. The phone is equipped with the mobile operating system Windows 10 Mobile, and its capacity is evidenced by, among other things, the fact that it has a built-in cooling system based on water cooling, as a result of which it does not "burn out" even under the greatest loads.
Why not give your iPhone more than just protection? Namely, there are unique iPhone cases (no, these are not some bizarre cases) that protect our phone and are useful at the same time. These are covers that come with bottle openers, feet and mirrors. We've put together a selection of must-have iPhone cases!
LG has already proven several times that it is not afraid to experiment (just remember the curved LG Flex model), but with this model it has surpassed itself. It is his most daring move in the field of smartphones so far. The LG V10 is indeed a "mere" alternative to the G4 model, but buyers get two bonuses. As many as two screens on the front and as many as three cameras.
People like to identify with winners, so the Chinese Zopo, a newcomer to the Slovenian mobile phone market, recently introduced the collectible smartphone Zopo Speed 7 GP (Jorge Lorenzo Edition), which exudes the spirit and power of the two-time motorcycle champion in the royal class, Jorge Lorenzo. Like the Spaniard's motorcycle, the phone also bears the number 99, but of course it also has the signature of one of the best motorcyclists of recent years, who is in a fierce fight for the title this year as well. Much like Zopo is in a bitter battle with mobile competition. The phone will also be available in Slovenia!
Facebook will get a major visual upgrade. What used to be a profile picture can soon be a video! It is a short video that will be played to anyone who chooses to visit our profile.
Dutch non-profit organization Fairphone made a bold decision two years ago when it offered the world a socially responsible smartphone, made according to ethical standards, free from rumors of exploitation of cheap labor and destruction of natural resources for profit, something that many others cannot claim manufacturers of such technological toys. Since the phones were well received by customers, they prepared its successor, the Fairphone 2 modular smartphone, where you won't have to worry if you drop it on the floor.
After Samsung and Apple had their say, Google also presented the new smartphone champion. Its largest phone has become smaller, and the Google Nexus 6P, unlike its predecessor Nexus 6 from 2014, was created together with the Chinese brand Huawei, and not the American Motorola. Google called its flagship the most premium mobile phone in history, and it has plenty of reasons for that.
Just when we thought we had seen everything on the topic of selfies, the news that there is a new campaign on Kickstarter - donate your euro for a dog selfie or Pooch Selfie came out of the blue.
With the Lenovo Vibe Shot smartphone, we witnessed a small step for the manufacturer, but a big one for the user, because the time came when the line between smartphone and digital camera was finally blurred. Now you get the best of both worlds, a camera with professional functions and an extremely powerful mobile phone that is only 7.6 millimeters thick. Nevertheless, it has a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh, which guarantees up to 30 hours of talk time.
