CON - DISTRACTION
With great convenience comes the possibility of great distraction, however. Smartphones will alert you to new emails, text messages or comments on your various social networking sites, and the urge to check these latest updates can sometimes be too strong a pull. Accidents and injuries can occur due to these distractions, so don't respond to your smartphone's alerts like Pavlov's dogs. Resist the urge to check your smartphone the second it sounds, and when you do check, do so responsibly and only when it's safe.
