Why are so many people 'bound' to smartphones these days? Keep scrolling to find out!
Many surveys show that people would rather leave their wallets than their cell phones. It’s true that cell phones seem to hold more importance than anything else. What’s the reason?
1. Cell Phones = Work
These days, it seems all data can be stored on smartphones. Sometimes, cell phones even replace USB drives. The same goes for contacts of clients and coworkers. Unlike in the past, when we relied on regular phones, cell phones are now the only source of information for important people at work. Furthermore, the email feature is essential, making it necessary to carry cell phones everywhere.

2. A Distraction
In certain moments, cell phones serve as effective distractions. For example, when waiting in line at the bank or for a meeting to start. With features such as browsers, social media, and games, cell phones help people overcome boredom or divert their attention temporarily.

3. Entertainment During Traffic Jams
As we know, traffic jams in Jakarta can heighten stress levels. That’s why Jakartans feel compelled to hold onto their smartphones. The music player and radio can provide entertainment and relieve stress during traffic congestion.
4. The Fear of Missing Out
Unconsciously, people in the capital tend to create a competitive society and remain active on social media. With their mobile phones, they can quickly catch up on the latest news and trends. Therefore, when they meet face-to-face with others, they won’t miss out on current hot topics.
