How my academic and personal live has been shaped by the use of smart devices?

10 Examples

3. Social Isolation

2. Efficient Communication

1. Access to Information

During my childhood, the use of smart devices was not something that was used as frequently as today, and I can say that these devices do have an impact on the social isolation that is growing on ourselfs since social media exists, and it is easier for us to interact out there than face to face.

In my opinion, the most important example about these topic is that smart devices provide instant access to a variety of information which help and improve in terms of academic research and personal knowledge.

In my personal experience I trully believe in that smart devices help a lot in how easy they make communication in society for us in case of any emergency or situation we have, specially in a country as insecure as Mexico.

4. Organization and Productivity

It is true that speaking in academic terms, smart devices have helped me in terms of organization and in being more efficient in my tasks and homeworks, since I have an agenda and my deadlines are in order.

5. Distraction

In my personal case, smart devices have lowered my level of concentration in classes, when doing homework and studying for exams since a notification always comes in and it is more important to know who or what the notification is about than what it is whatever you are doing at the moment.

6. Addiction and Dependence

Throughout my life I have learned more about the use of smart devices, that is why oneself begins to not know how to live without them and personally, they have generated an addiction in me which is something extremely negative and more if I am being aware of it.

8. Finance

9. Remote learning

Speaking of my professional career, which is finance, the use of these devices allows me to be aware of all the financial indicators that change daily, in addition, this can help me in having a plan for my financial future.

When the pandemic passed, these devices helped us in some way not to be left behind or on pause since we were able to continue studying online attendinirusg virtual classes, although in my opinion you do not learn in the same way precisely because of all the distracting factors it was a help not to completely stop our learning.

7. Sleep Disrutption

For me it is very important to learn about sleep since it is the process in which we rest and can recover for a long day. I have investigated and the use of electronic devices before bedtime can interrupt your sleep, causing not to reach the optimal rest that it should, which causes less performance in my daily activities.

10. Time Management

Smart alarms and reminders have assisted me in waking up on time, attending classes, and meeting deadlines. Although is something it seems a liitle dumb for me it is very important to manage time.
