4.2.1 Smartphone Addiction
I took a vacation last night.
What are you talking about?
Where did you take your vacation?
I didn't go anywhere.
I just spent an evening without my smartphone.
How was it?
It was great. I got a really magazine and read it with no interruption.
It was very peaceful.
Yes, I haven't done that in a long time.
You know what?
I'm beginning to hate smartphones.
Really? but you can't live without one, right?
Yes, that's the problem.
These things are changing the way people live.
Yes, I just saw a documentary about that.
A husband was complaining to his wife that she was spending too much time on her smartphone.
what happened? Did they get a divorce?
You guessed it. In the end, they got a divorce.
It's a bit ironic, don't you think?
Smartphone were supposed to bring people together, but they are pulling people apart.
Yes, you are right.
Hey, just a minute. I've got a message on my smartphone, and it can't wait.
Hey, wake up and get back to work.
What's wrong with you?
I'm on my break sir, and I have a bad headache.
Well, we are not paying you to sleep.
If you're going to sleep, sleep someplace else.
Yes, sir, sorry, it won't happen again.
It had better not.
Just a minute.
Don't talk to me like that.
What did you say?
You hurt me. you don't have to treat people like that.
Well, if you don't like it, I suggest you leave.
OK, I will. I've had enough of you.
I'll get a job somewhere else.
