How much do you use your smartphone?

About 4 hours a day with approximately 85 different interactions
The main purpose are short interactions to read short messages or take a quick look at some
social media network.
They are the most common, although they often last less than a minute. When the time is
shorter than a minute, I don`t usually think about it, but this is saved on the application.

Will you change anything about how you use your smartphone after listening this
information?
Technology is definitely changing the way we interact with the world, from the way we
work and do business to the way we have fun, take pictures, store or share information,
spend free time, make friends and love what we do.
The use of technology can be reflected in personal and trivial activities, so I can start
spending more time with my family and having more face-to-face conversations about
meaningful topics in life.

Smartphones are like mini computers that we can move everywhere. Its multiplicity of
functions has made them one of the most sought after objects. While there is no doubt that
having a device with these characteristics can be very useful, it is important to know how to
use them so as not to disturb others, especially during working hours.
1. USE YOUR PHONE IN MODERATION: make short calls

2. DO NOT USE IT DURING MEETINGS: Normally, work meetings are planned so

that there is a face-to-face interaction with your colleagues and not so that you are
aware of your phone.

3. CONTROL SOUNDS AND LIGHTS: The sounds or lights of the phones can be fun
as long as they are discreet and do not disturb the work of your office colleagues.

4. USE HEADPHONES: If you want to listen to music, be sure to use headphones so

as not to disturb those around you.

5. DO NOT UPLOAD EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO SOCIAL NETWORKS:

Consider that not everyone likes to appear tagged on Facebook or show their image
on Instagram.

6. CONTROL THE USE OF GAMES: If you want to keep a good image, try not to
be playing all the time with your phone at work.

7. RESPOND TO MESSAGES: The good thing about having a smartphone is that it

allows you to be in communication all the time. Do not let your messages
accumulate and try to respond to everyone you can in the shortest possible time.

8. DISCONNECT: Your friends and family also require your attention in the real
world. Learn to disconnect from the network from time to time and enjoy face-to-
face interaction with your loved ones.

Phase 3: Phase 3: Design a poster about the ways you

can use your smartphone effectively
