How to Respond People who Addicted to Smartphone?

Dedicated for everyone that lost his/her friends because of their smartphone...

Ehm..actually it is hard for me to do this. To write an articles that the title is started with  “How to…” words. Okay, forget it! Let’s move on. Let’s get down to the business. Now what is in your mind when you see someone that really busy with his/her smartphone? Even when they are walking?

There are some possibilities related to your reaction: 

1. You don’t even care

How can you think about another people if you don’t care about  yourself.  How can you think about another people if you are busy with your smartphone too?

2.You get annoyed

There are some reasons for you to get annoyed. Maybe they are playing music really loud, or maybe they are becoming   ‘uncontrolled’ because of a gossip in the internet or they read a status from their lover that make them doing that things (laughing, screaming, and crying uncontrolled) 

3.You get so upset

Why? You get so upset with them? You get so upset because everybody around you are very busy with their Instagram? BBM? Line? Facebook? Twitter? Or with another ‘thing’ related to their smartphone? It is normal nowadays.

Now, what will you do? For the one who get annoyed and get upset because of that case you need to be patient. There are some points that we have to know. 

1. Identify the problem

We need to know what is the core of the problems?  First before we judge them. How they could be like that? What they are doing? Why they are doing that? Do they have a problem?

There are some factors that really take a big role in this case. It happens nowadays. First,the people that come from the place that suffering “cultural lag” and come to the place that the people are modern they will be the best victim of ‘cultural shock’. Second, maybe they are addicted to a game, or social media. Why? Their ability to socialize in the real world are bad, their family problem, their broken friendship, etc. you need to understand them first. 

2. Get closer to them

Get closer to them. Invite them to an interesting conversation, PUT OFF your smartphone while you talk to them, but don’t ever force them to put their smartphone off. Keep talking till their concentration  is divided between you and their smartphone.  It would not be instant. You need to do it regularly and frequently. Remember, before you save another you need to save yourself first.

3. Bring back the happiness!

Bring back the happiness around you. Bring the spirit of happiness when you get conversation to your friends. Talk about daily activity, or even talking about shoe shock. .zzzz…You need to know that your positive thinking would bring back that happiness and bring you to the positive result.

4.  Pray to God

The last thing that you have to do after all your effort is praying. Pray to God for your friends, pray to God for your society.

Pintarnya dunia yang pintar?

oleh Rudi Saputra

Dahulu beberapa tahun yang lalu aku punya teman,

Kami semua berteman,

Begitu menyenangkan,

Seperti arum manis dipasar malam

Sekarang semuanya menjadi lebih pintar

Lebih pintar berpose

Lebih pintar bernyanyi

Lebih pintar mengadili

Lebih pintar…menyendiri

Kini teman-temanku bisa tertawa tanpa harus berkumpul dibawah pohon,

atau ditaman atau di warung lagi

Kini mereka bisa berteriak dan menangis tanpa ada orang tau sebabnya

Mereka begitu asyik dengan kepintarannya

Kini, saat berkumpul

Semua terasa berbeda, semuanya terlihat pintar dengan kepintaran yang mereka banggakan

Karya manusia lainnya

Mereka pintar berpose, berkumpul tak lengkap tanpa sorotan perekam

Obrolan tak lagi penting,

Pose yang terpenting

Dahulu mereka begitu menyenangkan
