Nobody would be surprised by the statement that the use of mobile phones change the human behavior. A group of American scientists shed new light on the extent to which our "smartphones" change our behavior. The main conclusions of the study, led by a famous psychologist, are that smartphones cause some symptoms of ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in completely healthy people. Among reported symptoms are inattention, poor concentration, feeling of boredom when trying to focus on a specific task, fidget and fuss and inability to retain at one place.
"Smartphones likely contribute to these symptoms because they serve as a quick and easy source of distraction," explains the psychologist. This does not mean that phones cause ADHD or that if we reduce their use this can cure the disorder, adds the scientist. The encouraging conclusion from the study is that the negative effects of the continuous use of smartphones can be seriously reduced in a very simple way - by mute. Another option is the "smartphone" to be placed further away where it can not be easily reached. This seriously reduces the effect of the continuous flow of information from the phone.
