For years, mobile phones weren't much to look at. The screens were small, and users needed to press the same key several times to type a single letter in a text. Then, the first iPhone was released. Within six years, most people owned a smartphone?accepting the new technology perhaps faster than ever. It suddenly became very easy to predict what most people would be doing in public places.
Today, smartphones seem indispensable. They connect us to the Internet, give us directions, allow us to quickly fire off texts and can even help you find the last hotel room when your plane is grounded by a dust storm. Yet research has shown that this convenience may be coming at a cost.
In the beginning, smartphone users would stay together, sharing what was on their phones. As time has gone on, there's been less of that and more of what we call the alone together phenomenon. Then you become attracted by the world on the screens. This is the new normal: Instead of visiting someone, you text them. Instead of getting together for dinner with friends to tell them about your recent vacation, you post the pictures to Facebook. It's convenient, but it cuts out some of the interaction (互动)that, as social animals, we want.
