Description

The question you should pose before self is “Am I spending more time with my smart-phone than with my partner even during romantic encounters or sessions?” We cannot deny that electronic technology today allows us to be constantly and instantly be connected to the world wide information source points of our desires, but it has also become a mode of disconnection from each other. Recent studies show that cell phones have had a negative impact on relationships between men and women, known as couples, for the past few years that it has been availed to humanity. A research carried out by the University of Essex in the UK found out that people who busied themselves in personal discussions when their smart-phone was nearby, even if neither party was actually using it, reported lower relationship quality and less trust for their partner. They also felt their partner was less compassionate to their concerns in relationship to them by being engrossed in their phones.
