PART D_2

Smartphones have changed how people communicate. Through modern technology, smartphones have been gaining more and more uses every day. However, the smartphone has its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages of having smartphones is faster communication. People can send text messages anywhere across the world in less than a second. In addition to that, people can do video calls to see the person on the other line. Having a smartphone could also have a disadvantage such as decreased face-to-face communication which often leads to arguments. Nowadays, many people use smartphones to play games, so they do not have much time for face-to-face conversations. People should not forget these advantages and disadvantages for them to be responsible smartphone users.
