Firstly, the reason of most people really like smartphones is all of the multimedia features
that include in it. In every day, we hear that there is a new addition in smartphone can take high

smartphone can upload music from stores inside it.
Moreover, according to article 10 advantages and disadvantages of having smartphone
A*smartphone is almost a computer*where you can do many operations online. Trough the
smartphone people can make quick search in webs whatever they want. From my own
experience, I usually use google translate to transfer words from English to Arabic so, I can
understand what I misunderstand. Another point is that in smartphone you can check to your emails and get internet in everywhere.
According to article advantages and disadvantages to owning a smartphone Smartphones
help keep peoples lives organized with their linked calendars and planners courtesy of their
advanced operating systems, which also cut down on the amount of physical organizers that
users have to carry around. Immediate access to information in any emergency is one of the main
benefits to owning a smartphone. Nowadays, most people depend on smartphone in their daily
life. For example, when people drive car to travel out the state or long destination, they use GPS
to figure out the road. Although most people use alert in their phone to wake them up for classes,

appointment, birthday, and ceremony so,when I was a child I used to write my relatives birthday

in notes after I got my smartphone I write their birthday in my calendar so, it will remind me
automatically. Therefore, one on the most beneficial thing in the smartphone that it has alarm.
From my own experience, I cant wake up for my classes without putting many alarms to wake.
Cell phones are having a great influence in our live and are very convenient to keep with us.
Cell phones are a faster and more effective way to transfer information. through smartphone
people you can communicate with people far away from you for any person wherever they are.

app that can call people and see them via video call). People cant deny how smartphone is
important to us nowadays.
In conclusion, smartphone is multi-tasking. Its tough to fit an mp3 player, digital camera,
phone, and GPS all in your pockets at the same time at least comfortably. Fortunately for you,
todays cell phones mean thats not a problem anymore. Having smartphone could be harmful
and beneficial in the same time. To be honest, this argue depends on each person who use
smartphone. This terrible problem causes arguments among people about smartphones.

helpful and useful. However, others think that smartphone has disadvantages more than
advantages. Many people may think that smartphones are complex and stressful. Smartphones
make our life easier and more beautiful than past by keeping in touch with people from other
