The Harm of Phubbers

In the past, if I had to look away from my phone, I felt like I was going to die. When I had lunch with my family or dated with my friends, I couldn't resist replying to a text message or checking my Facebook, WeChat on the mobile phone. Before long, it was easy for me to get tired. The more I texted during the day, the poorer my sleep was. I couldn't even focus on my study. My friend told me that people who can't help checking their phones all day are known as phubbers （低头族）. Phubbing trends not only involve the young people, but also the elderly. Soon, I noticed a Stop Phubbing campaign site had been set up.

The harm of phubbing is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Health Issues: Constantly looking down at a phone can lead to eye strain, neck pain, and even back problems due to poor posture. It can also cause sleep disturbances and a lack of sleep, which negatively impacts physical and mental health.

Social Isolation: Phubbers often miss out on important moments with their loved ones, such as family dinners and friend gatherings. This can lead to feelings of isolation and decreased social interaction, negatively affecting mental health and relationships.

Productivity Loss: Being constantly distracted by phone notifications can reduce productivity and efficiency at work or school. It can also lead to a lack of focus and poor academic performance.

Accident Risks: Using a phone while walking or driving can lead to accidents and injuries. Texting while driving, in particular, is one of the leading causes of road accidents.

To refuse to be phubbers, we should make a conscious effort to put down our phones and engage in face-to-face interactions. This can be achieved by setting specific phone-free times during the day, designating phone-free zones, and encouraging friends and family members to do the same. By doing so, we can improve our health, relationships, and overall quality of life.
