Smartphone use is on the rise today, keeping users connected to things that are important to them, keeping them informed and close to those who are not near.

However, there’s a cost to that, and a video recently published by YouTube user charstarleneTV appears meant to stress that.

The overuse of smartphones could easily prevent people from enjoying the simple things that they encounter every day. Some might even forget to interact with friends they go out with when keeping their eyes on the smartphone’s screen at all times.

Undoubtedly, having a smartphone is a great thing, especially given the multitude of applications and services that are available for users these days.

However, users should not forget that they are in control, and that the small device in the palm of their hands is only a tool. It’s not the other way around.
