The world is vastly evolving, thus, trends, innovative influences and, perhaps, the sophistication of modernity are not unlikely to erode certain valuables in the life of an individual.
The use of phones and other technological devices create forms of setbacks as evident in the life of youths today. Such include addiction, obsession, laziness or idleness. I, particularly, find the effect of these devices negative as I tend to pay more attention on them than doing what's more valuable to myself. The reason is not far-fetched; one is, if not often, sometimes bound to act or follow the trends that make one have some sense of belonging to the evolving or modern world, since separation or some sort of indifference towards the trends could present one has ignorant to the social norms.
