I am Tara Subra. I love my smartphone. But everywhere you look, people are glued to their screens. And we are all missing out on chances to notice and enjoy the world around us.

This smartphone addiction(成瘾) is seriously affecting our ability to focus. I can’t even watch a movie without checking my phone, which means nothing ever receives my full attention. That’s scary, especially in a school. I’m afraid it changes my work and how well I learn.

My name is Alex Hager. Smarphones encourage us to think more and give us a lot of information. Say you’re with your friends and they are discussing a certain event you know nothing about. You can use your phone to learn about it, and then share that conversation.

Smarphones are also a way to find people who have the same interests and goals. For example, I love making YouTube videos, but nobody at my school does. So my phone allows me to connect with other YouTubes and learn from them.

That’s why I want you to pick up your phone, search for a person who’s talking about something you love, and start a conversation. Your world will get bigger-straight from your palm(手掌) of your hand.
