5 Tips to Ensure Your Smartphone is

Making You Smarter

The Smartphone has become an addiction in today’s day and

age. Almost everyone of every age is now stuck to these mini

devices that almost rule over our lives.

More often than not, we are busy ‘wasting our time’ playing games, making

redundant conversations or just swiping through our feed on various social media

apps on our Smartphone. It is probably because of this that people have started

questioning - Are Smartphone, making us not so smart?

Whether the answer is yes or no, one thing is clear, the way Smartphone are deeply

integrated in our lives, it will take a long time to get them out (if that is possible at

all). So why not try and make a positive use of these brilliant pieces of technology

rather than letting them dumb us down? Here are 5 ways by which you can ensure

that your Smartphone is making you smarter!

1. Download the right Applications!

It is funny how we simply blame our phones for dumbing us down when we are the

ones controlling it! From its settings to the applications that are on our phones, we

have the power to either make the right choice or regret later! So make sure you

download some educational and useful applications (there are tons trust me)along

with your dose of angry birds and subway surfers! Nowadays, along with ‘best offer

on mobile phones’ there is also a lot of great offers on some great applications so

make sure you catch them all like the Poke mons for Pokemon go!

2. Customize Your Notifications

We all know how easy it is to lose our concentration streak, especially with so much

happening around! And we all know the adrenaline rush we get when we read ‘so

and so commented on your post’- it makes it almost impossible for us to not check it

out! But all these things can wait for an hour or two before you get done with your

work. So make sure you customize your push notifications in a way that your friend's

new post about some delicious food does not get to you while you are reading up on

the history of the world!

Simply speaking, just put an effort into making sure that any interruptions you

receive while working or studying are truly worth the distraction.

3. Make Right Use of the Facilities

From a reminder app to your personal wallet, Smartphone nowadays is almost like

your life in a small piece of gadget. So make sure you take full advantage of all

these preinstalled applications that your Smartphone come with! After all, you pay

the Samsung, apple or htc mobile price; so make sure you get its full worth!

4. Buy the right phone- Make the smart choice!

This is perhaps the most important step- make the right choice! Do not buy a certain

Smartphone only to come across as cool in front of your friends or other people. Buy

it according to your requirements and budget! If the htc mobile price suits your

budget better than a Samsung phone, ditch the Samsung and just get a htc new

mobile (which is pretty good anyway)! Similarly, if you need a phone with a longer

battery life, go for that! Just don’t get pushed into buying something because

everyone else is buying it.

5. Learn to keep your phone down!

With the ‘best offer on mobile phones’ everywhere, everyone has a phone and is

stuck to it almost all the time. Right from waking up till the time we go to sleep, we

are stuck onto our Smartphone - scrolling down the newsfeed, commenting, liking,

playing and what not. It is high time that we take a break! So once in a while, it is a

good idea to keep your Smartphone down and read a ‘real’ book, or play some ‘real’

outdoor games! Because the smartest people know when to stop.

Bonus Point: Make sure you take care of your phone! Although it does not really

make you ‘smart’ per say, the wise people know how to take care of their things- so

be one! Whether it is a htc new mobile or a Samsung one, every phone comes with

a price so take care of it!
