Phubbers
In the past, if I had to look away from my phone, I felt like I was going to die. When I had lunch with my family or dated with my friends, I couldn’t resist replying to a text message or checking my Facebook, WeChat on the mobile phone. Before long, it was easy for me to get tired. The more I texted during the day, the poor my sleep was. I couldn’t even focus on my study.
My friend told me that people who can’t help checking their phones all day are known as phubbers(低头族). Phubbing trends not only to involve the young people, but also the elderly. Soon, I noticed a Stop Phubbing campaign site had been launched. I found the slogan of the website as follows: "stop twittering, stop posting photos…enjoy your food, enjoy the music and respect your campaign."
Thankfully, I realized there was actually an outside world. My divided attention could keep me from what is truly important. Now, I can use the phone without feeling like a drug addict. I have more time to enjoy real-life activities. Use your cell phone and don’t let it use you.

低头族
在过去,如果我不得不远离我的手机,我觉得我要去死。当我吃午饭,和我的家人或者和朋友约会,我忍不住要回个短信或检查我的脸谱网,在手机微信。不久,我就很容易累了。我越短的白天,可怜的我的睡眠。我甚至不能集中精力学习。
我的朋友告诉我,人不能帮助检查自己的手机每天都被称为低头族。低头趋势不仅涉及到年轻人,也有老人。很快,我注意到一个停止低头竞选网站已经启动。我发现这个网站的口号:“停止低头,停止上传照片…享受你的食物,享受音乐和尊重你的行动。”
谢天谢地,我意识到外面有一个世界。我分散的注意力可以使我远离真正重要的东西。现在,我可以使用手机,而不觉得像吸毒者。我有更多的时间享受现实生活中的活动。使用你的手机,不要让它使用你。
