Part II
Some people find smartphones convenient while others are worried about the negative influences of smartphones. Personally, I agree with both sides. Smartphones do bring us convenience, but they can have bad influences, too. With a smartphone, we can not only take pictures but surf the Internet anywhere and at any time. However, if we spend too much time using a smartphone, we may neglect people around us. I don’t think I can survive one week without my smartphone, for I rely on it to keep in contact with my friends. In fact, I may go crazy on the very first day! In my opinion, we should not spend more than two hours a day on a smartphone. This is not easy, but I would like to give it a try.
