Four friends get together to have a dinner. What's weird is that the four appear to be strangers to each other, not talking with friends seated beside them but totally indulging in smartphones.

The picture reveals a typical scene nowadays. Whenever people have a chance to relax, they will fish out phones to play for a while. It has been challenging or even impossible for many people to keep concentration on face-to-face communication. As the quality of emotional interaction between people suffer a dramatic deterioration , more and more people arrive at an approval that people should shut down mobile phones when being with friends or relatives. Unfortunately, it is only a theoretical opinion around the WeChat, a communication tool on the smartphone. Few people apply it into life.

The smartphone is really the most controversial modern invention, bringing enjoyable relaxation and great convenience on the one hand and causing problematic phone addiction and consequent interpersonal isolation on the other hand. Rational attitude should be paid to the mobile phone. We should not squander the limited and precious time on a lifeless machine. Due importance should be attached to the contact in real life.
