Look at your phone as tool. Would you walk around with a hammer in your pocket? You would pick up a hammer when you needed it you would never be addicted to it. See your phone like a hammer only pick it up when you need it - Kanye West

@nathanmars, My opinion about the positive impact of mobile phone usage, for the community at large.
Technological advances are inevitable, the various lines in life have been affected by technological advances, their impact can be either positive or negative, it depends very much on the users of the technology, as I am doing this, using mobile phones to write in steemit media.😍😍
Totally agree, It really depends very much on the users!!!
I'm happy to see you know how to use technology to help you with your goals :)
Thank you very much @nathanmars👍👍, do you have discord or steem chat..?
This was rightly said by the legend sir .
The only thing that has seperated us from our social life is this thing called technology.
If it were never there we would have been leading lives without much frustration.
No doubt tech has helped us in varied ways but if it continues taking a toll on our lives then it's not worth anything.
We must understand the importance of maintaing a healthy balance between our life and work life and this can only happen when we understand the need of using tech.
It is also rightly said that
"We never feed our need but we feed our greed"
You have been a big time inspiration for me sir.
I was inspired to write this blog post because of you
Please check if time allows.

Thank you for your complements and I appreciate it!
Yes, we must understand the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between our work and life.
I'm checking it out your post as I typing this reply to you:)
Most welcome sir
giving a very suitable example @nathanmars.
Thanks for your positive feedback @kretorkk!
Thanks for you sir.....
best of luck.......
Thanks for your positive feedback @kretorkk!
Happy Steeming!
sir you my most like man
thanks for you..
Lots of message in this short article. Nice one buddy.
Most of us see our phone as a toy and not a tool. If you visualize your phone as a toy it can never be fruitful.
Thanks for your contribution Raymond!
Lets treat Steem as tool and make it fruitful for good steem citizens :)
Wow. We really have lots of things in common. I may not be financially capable but I know how many people I have helped in this steemit community.
I have introduced about 100 and still mentoring about 30.
I realize a list of on going contest every Sunday to help low earners.
For now I'm working on getting delegation, so I could start a curation trail. The mission is to decentralize the offline. Fight against putting our future in the hands of the government.
Wowww you’re doing amazing stuff!
I hope the universe will provide all the tools you need :)
I hope so too
Sir most welcome
Great motivator, Wise word,Technology is growing quickly.I appreciate your post!! such a great post Sir,@nathanmars..I Think,Taking a break unlocks creativity. When distractions disappear, ideas come, i can see only you with such abilities Sir.thanks for information! this matter is really great !!Your talking style and expression is first class. I am not a big fan of tesla but now iam the fan of @nathanmars Sir..Salute boss you're great..
Really Sir you so great man.
Sir @upvote and resteemit done..
have a good day.
I appreciate your contribution and the conversations!
Please be your own biggest fan @lanamo!!!
Thank you :)
okey sir..and thanks a lot sir @nathanmars..Your mind is so good full fresh !! It's so much better, It feels great to talk to you!!
Thanks for your kind words and it means a lot to me...
Well, if phone is said to be hammer I'm willing to carry it every seconds since it's very useful to me, there is no minutes that I don't see nothing to do on my phone, my phone has been the best tool I ever got, I have reasons for this, as we all know that steemit require our totality, majority of the I do on steemit is through my phone so I'm willing and ready to carry my phone even if it is more of than hammer. The usefulness of my phone to me could not be compare to anything as at present, I get feed through my phone#my daily 🍞 , lol, but that is the truth. I'm addicted to my phone and it has become part of my brother ,Just like a doctor could not do without
stethoscope. Can you tell me how often you wield your phone and if you are willing to carry it as your ultimate tool every minute.
Yes I'm addicted to Steemit and the good steemians like youself but not the phone..
If I loose my phone, I can always buy another phone but If we loose steemit and we might have to wait long to biuld a community like steem community :)
you are absolutely right, but when you lose your phone and it actually contain confidential and information you wouldnt like to do without and you don't back up it, how will you feel brother, won't you think some part of you is actually affected before you could get another one
yes I see your point of view..
Let’s keep our confidential information safe!!
Most of us wander on our phones aimlessly—usually when we’re bored. To cut back, set a higher bar for logging on. Ask yourself, Do I have a specific, positive reason for this? If you can’t come up with one (say, wanting to see a relative’s wedding photos), resist the urge and do something that will boost your mood, like calling a friend or diving into an engaging book.
A little time away from the screen reminds you how nice life is much better status updates.
Taking a break unlocks creativity. “When distractions disappear, ideas come,”
Thanks for bringing this to mind Nathan, i hope we handle our mobile phones more responsibly
Thanks for believing in me
Same here @mistakili , The time I spend away from the screen makes me appreciate my life.
“When distractions disappear, ideas come,”
Thanks for sharing above quote and I need get more ideas...So I'm going to take a walk in the nature soon!
Enjoy your walk my friend, be sure to come back and spread your seeds of creativity on us too.
Have a good day
thanks for info! we have no idea in this matter!
Technology is growing rapidly, a lot of life changing, mindset, even income,
From the effects of the development of this technology is what makes people change from poor to rich even vice versa ..
In terms of positive technological developments are very beneficial to all of us,
It also can not be separated from the negative side ..
Yes I agree with your argument Adson!
Technology is taking the human race forward and I truly believe the Decentralisation and Crypto will move us forward faster and I'm glad to be on fully board and happy to have amazing people like yourself with me too :)
Wow👍👍👍 I agree with your argument @nathanmars.
Thank you @nurhayati and have a productive day :)
I am happy @nathanmars, Steem On brother😍😍😍
You are also a great person @nathanmars,
Yes technology takes us faster forward, but the sophistication of this technology is up to when will survive, I fear this is the peak, if this is the peak there is no other way but down
Technology will help humans to be actually more human being.
I'm very optimistic about what more Technology can add to our lives. Embrace the change, don't fight it.
Thanks @nathanmars I hope so, so with the help of technology we can be heading to a positive change,
My phone is basically my tool, and yes it what I have in this world of unemployment.
My phone is my source of employment and so nothing can be compared to my phone in my life
I'm really happy to see your tool is supporting you and adding value to your life.
Yes I appreciate my phone, Its allowing me to live very minimalistic life and provide me with most of the other tools to live my life.
My phone is contain so many tools and its my tool box :)
Mobile phones change our lives a lot, we can not even get away with mobile phones, every wake up we open the phone, everytime we eat, we open the phone even every nowadays is a very big dependency,
There are most people who misuse it so much time wasted.
Not a few that are profitable from him ..
Yes you're absolutely right, We must not misuse any tools and waste our time.
Because when you loose time, you can't get it back.
Yes, because the time has passed Can never be overtaken again,
Benefits of time and technology as well as possible ..
Thanks @nathanmars
very nice post @nathanmars, your words have a very profound meaning for all of us, I think, you do have a high science, because the words you write, very difficult to understand, we must read with barulang and with feelings.
I think the world is now very much different from the old days, we can even say that it has grown to 100% from the past, we see, now in our lives, all have been filled with technology, like work to make money, can we use with the Internet, and very many ways with technology. Like Steemit, Blogger, Youtube, and many more.
I think, for the future of this world will surely increasingly sophisticated and very much technology. We must be grateful to the people who have changed the world, such as professors, and other experts. If there were none of them, this world would not grow like this. Thanks for sharing @nathanmars, and hopefully you have a wonderful day... :)
Technology help us in so many ways, it make very things easy for us, it give us long life and free from disease. It make movement fast
Thanks for adding more explanations. Yes Technology bringing changes which can improve our lives
Thanks again @nathanmars, I just gave a little feedback for all of us, because here we can learn from each other and share each other to gain new knowledge. That way, we can change the world becomes more sophisticated again, and can create something that benefits people. Hopefully you will be more successful to work... :)
Am glad to wake up on such information and My phone is my biggest weapon i just cannot even imagine what can happen to me incase it is stolen because it means alot to me and with steemit adding value to me I just cannot stay away from it
Yes I must appreciate things that add value to our lives.
Same here, I value my fellow steemians and Steem blockchain so much!
Woow what a powerful statement ! And you even show it by the way
All the phone addicted people are miners, whose most important tool is hammer and they also carry hammers in their pocket.... 😁😁😁
👍👍👍
I hope they are mining something valuable.
Because last month I saw someone sitting next to me had two phones and with one phone she was talking to someone and with the other phone she was playing candy-crush game. And her focus was more on the second phone..
I like to focus on people who are paying attention to me.
Sir I am resteemit your every post
those games are really damaging this generation, its output is null, its damaging their brains and eyes, i was also addicted to games, that damaged my eyes 😞😞
Wise word, addition to anything like drugs, drinks, food even our technologies etc is armful or let me put it in this way" always have its own negative effect"
I guess everything has its own negative effect!
For me, I want to be in control of my own mind, So I can stay away from negative effects. Let alone far away from negative people. lol
@nathanmars, is good to stay away from negative people with negative mindset and do you know ignoring the negative people can be a stepping stone or let me put it in this way "can motivate you to attain your goals" how about that?
ignoring the negative people is the better strategy @dhayor01
Thank you :)
Really sir you so great man.
sir I am your every post upvote and resteemit.
Great motivator, you are just breaking my bobus with your post @nathanmars...
Surely, you are right because been addicted to any thing always have there own effect either good or bad
Make sure you're always in control of your tools. Take the good and leave the bad...
Ok, thanks so much.... Will be looking up for your next post sir, have a nice day
The usage regarding mobile telephone is increasing epoch by way of day. Today mobile cellphone is certain the major good regarding life. But among spite on every its benefits and concurrence points cellular telephone uses has at all risky yet damaging outcomes over our society. It has absolutely worried the structure yet foundation about our society. The most important or almost detrimental results concerning cell smartphone usage about our class are given below,
People are wasting tussock concerning theirs period into sending useless sms (messages) in conformity with one some other through their cellular phones. This is completely extravagance about era yet money.
Students function now not consign proper day in imitation of their studies or misspend their period into taking part in games, ear music, gazing movies then reading messages of their cellular phones.
Parents are no longer aware respecting the activities of theirs children.
Actually, when we use the phone, it's OK, but since the phone starts using us as soon as the trouble starts
Also Negative Effects On kids...
Other day, I saw a family who sat next to me on the train, I think it was a Sunday and the two kids want to play and talk with their dad, But dad so busy checking on his phone all the time. I could feel the kids getting frustrated.. the story goes on...
Anyway I wouldn't wish for dad like him!
I think this is very painfull for the children.Maybe they were spending time in loneliness alone
Phones have become a refuge for the cowards - when people avoid people for no good reason. A phone becomes an addiction second but a crutch first. It is what we learn to lean on when we do want to learn more about what's around us.
My words may be scathing but remember that they apply to me as well.
Your advice apply to me as well. I'm a super minimalist and I value human interaction so much, So I don't have TV at my home.
And when I'm with someone I always put my phone in my pocket first and give all my attention to them.
I personally donot watch Tv because i value my personal interactions on phone even when i watch a movie i loose track because of my phone
Sounds like a you're a multi-tasker @ ireneblessing. lol
Really sir you so great man
Yah currently am handling like 5 tasks at once and by God's grace am managing
My phone is my tool
My greatest tool , with my phone I have the tendency to be a great man
My phone is my biggest tool cause it is my mobile studio as a singer.
I make all my songs on my phone so definitely my phone it the greatest tool I have .
My phone and Steemit is my greatest tools right now as it allow me to share my thoughts with nice people like yourself @olumideolowoyeye
Awww so honored my friend, you’re equally a nice person and staying loyal to friendship is all that it is. Staying loyal to good people like yourself is what I call friendship . Thanks for your nice words my friend
I agree with you my opinion is how you say to use it as a tool that truth is a tool just like the internet or the computer are tools to make us work and things a little easier Hsata many times we get a little closer to those dear ones who They are far away but in the last few years we have seen how this is wrapping up and we are already part of our day to day, the telephones are there, seeing so many things, being able to invest this time with the family or in some activity
Yes I totally agree we should invest our time with the family or in some activities we love.. So we can more focus on our work :)
Happy Steeming !!!
You are right sir.
But to some people "me" phone is their tool which they use to carry out most of their internet activities. Ex. I'm blogging with my phone. And few other things.
If you're doing something useful with your tool then you can use them 24/7 and you should appreciate your tools.
Also appreciate Steemit tool and respect fellow Steemians. haha
Absolutely sir.
Steemit is the best.
And i respect it.
Most welcome sir.
You so great man.... best of luck
Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.
Yes Technology can be our best friend and it depends on how we use it and how often we use..etc
I only have 14 apps on my phone.
I work online and live off line.lol
unique personality lol 😂😂
i can see only you with such abilities..
Thank you for your compliment @muhasib :)
pleasure my friend 😊 stay blessed
Thank you for your daily post.
Really you doing very good job.
Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you for motivating me to DO MORE for other Steem citizens :)
Have a lovely day :)
All the phone addicted people are miners, whose most important tool is hammer and they also carry hammers in their pocket. Mobile phones change our lives a lot, we can not even get away with mobile phones, every wake up we open the phone, everytime we eat, addition to anything like drugs, drinks, food even our technologies etc is armful or let me put it in this way" always have its own negative effect"
Yes... Mobile phones change our lives a lot!
Happy steeming @shucona!!!!
Thanks you sir
This was rightly said by the legend sir. Today mobile cellphone is certain the major good regarding life. But among spite on every its benefits and concurrence points cellular telephone uses has at all risky yet damaging outcomes over our society. My phone is my biggest tool cause it is my mobile studio as a singer.
Good luck with your singing and mobile studio !!!
Thanks sir
Really sir you so great man.
I have to admit i'm pretty addicted to using my phone... especially addicted to steemit... sometimes i think i need a holiday from technology hehe :)
I'm getting addicted to steemit too! I think about it all the time about Steemit and Its kind of crazy but I'm super excited :)
Yes take small break (I mean holiday ) whenever you can!
Wishing you a challenging steemit journey!!!
The importance of my phone in my life can not be over emphasized. My phone has been a friend , a companion, my girlfriend, my everything at the moment cause that’s what I make it , that is what means the world to me . Why, simply because my phone is my source of daily food and so it’d never leave my side . Ever
At least you know who you can't be without @creating-wealth. lol
Yeah..the right thing to say to put some sense in us!
Thank you Rinki :)
you are most welcome @nathanmars.
giving a very suitable example @nathanmars.
Thanks for your compliment @fajri26 :)
Have a beautiful day and Happy Steeming!
Your are welcome
this is one of my favorite quote. I like it
I'm glad you like it @emu777 :)
I agree with you, eventually we have become dependent on the cell phone and although it has good things, it also has bad things.
It brings us closer to people who are far away, but they distance us from those who are close by.
I’m hoping Steemit will bring us closer to the people share similar world views.
Let’s make the most of the tool steemit:)
Have a wonderful day @josuerc
I hope so, people are capable of many things and the best of all is to share it with people who think in a similar way, support and help grow and improve, and stemit is a tool that if we use it properly will be very helpful. regards
If the person (Steemian) is good as the tool Steemit then he’ll make the most out of it :)
I agree with you. we can't let our inventions dictate our time and attention. To do this I pretty have deleted most of all the social media apps on my phone.. Games are a no-no. The only things in my phone are Steemit apps, productivity apps, and pretty much thats it.
Amazing!! You’re gonna make it on Steemit for sure!!!
I’m learning how I can unfollow some people here on Steemit so that I can follow the right people... It’s kind of similar to deleting apps on your phone!
However I really want to learn those Steemians bad behaviours and may help some of them if they want to be helped.
Anyway let’s shut off the noise and get to work:)
@nathanmars, I hope the people you choose make friends in steemit include me, Steemit is similar to the mobile app, if the app is not good then it is removed, hopefully, do not eliminate friendship with me. Lol
You strange people I get in steemit, you are friendly, I salute, sorry my English is bad
Good people make friends anywhere they go because they attract people to engage with them.
So like to maintain friendships with good people like yourself @nurhayati:)
(my English is bad ) Better way to say.. I’m improving my English everyday, so that I can have better communication with my friends. lol
Thank you for the positive response @nathanmars, I will keep in communication with everyone, I will improve the English better.
Your English is already improving and I believe in you my friend:)
May we continue together, forever @nathanmars.
Informative post , thank you . . Keep good work .
Your post is always different i follow your blog everytime , your post is so helpful . I always inspire of your post on my steem work . Thank you for sharing @nathanmars
Thank you for your Kind words @powerupme
I agree with you sir, mobil phones are now replacing big tool box in making daily earnings just as we steemites are doing. #nathanmars #busy
Good luck with your daily Earnings @nsikakntia :)
wow
I didn't know Kanye West said that.... but is so so true!!!
Thanks! It’s not important who said it but what they said is... Hahaha
Haha
I fully agree by the words.Technology is really making the world closer and interconnecting with each other.And it is really very true not only in case of technology but also in everything that can be used or exists.And everything has a positive and a negative use and it all depends on us how we use it and make our use the best.
And i am also thinking to blog on this topic.
Glad to meet you sir.
Have a great day ahead.
Nice to meet you too @princepr!
Hope we focus on positive steem citizens and make steem fruitful for more and more people...
Have a wonderful day :)
Yeah we all should focus on positive sites rather than thinking of negatives.Hope we will further meet and connect with each other.Have a wonderful day too sir.
Yes please focus on the positive that Steemit tool can bring to your life and others around you...
Thanks for your sweet and encourage words.
You’re welcome! I’m just getting starting with Steemit and I’m learning a lot every minute and I appreciate your support.
I hope we can embrace all the Steemit challenges coming our way and go forward!!!
Thank you so much sir.
I appreciate too.
Eagerly waiting for your next post sir.
Wow!.. That's a good one. Now I see a reason not to just pick up my phone carelessly..
Now please use Steemit as a tool
99..
100 . to get financially rewarded for your contribution
Hi sir.
Most welcome.
Very informative,some people are using this technology positive while some are using it negative,and this technology have really saved life of people people...@nathanmars thanks for motivating us..
You’re most welcome @feyikemi!
Have a lovely Day :)
Mobile phones have become an essential part of our life. Most times when you drop it, you feel like your forgetting something. Mobile device are more than just a tool. Because something your phone can save you from a life threatening event. You can receive a single call that can make all the difference.
For me Steemit extension platform like Dtube, Dlive and Steepshot...etc become my essential part of our life...
Wishing you challenging steemit journey ahead :)
Smartphones have become an indispensable device in life, but in addition to the benefits it has a small impact.
Yes you're absolutely spot on @sonpham1997. For some people it's the opposite..
Have a very challenging steemit journey :)
Yes, the use of the phone is becoming a habit for everyone, and I consider it as a drug addiction, they can not afford a phone and there is no way to get a phone out of them, I Think of the technology development as strong as today, the removal of the phone is very difficult and there is no way to overcome.
You've created an idea for me, I've blogged about the Impact of smartphones on people, and I feel this is essential to helping the community understand its impact, if you're inspired. Please contribute your comments on my blog here.
I've read your post and suggested something you can do in the future with Steemit...
Have a challenging and difficult steem journey!!!
Thank you, I am still trying every day, I want to convey the message to the community and I am doing it, my goal is to create good relationship between the Vietnamese community male with foreigner community.
Good luck with your goal!!!
thank you so much :)
I'm already applying that philosophy with my cell phone. Initially it was due to the high number of robbers in my country. I decided to left my phone at home, after a while I came to realize that I can't rely on it beyond its true purpose. It's just a tool for comunication, not my master.
I’m sorry to hear the robbers...
Happy to hear you’re your own master :)
Wishing you a challenging steem journey!!!
Well I'm my master in a small scale, the Big Master is up there and He's the real Boss!! Greetings.
Very true. we don't need our phones all the time. Imagine you are seated on a round table with family and everyone is on their phones. It is really a terrible moment. Keep your phones away at times when they don't matter.
Thank you for your response @mwamin.
Imagine you're seated among the fellow Steemians to learn together, share knowledge and experiences and get rewarded for your contribution. And them only thinking about what is the maximum reward they can get before what they can give..
It is really a terrible moment. Let me Keep those Steemians where they belong. lol
Have a lovely day :)
The word terrible is even understatement. We should get a bigger word. Lolest
Happy to see you’re engaging with your followers. That’s the way forward:)
I’m sure you’ll have great Steemit Journey!!
Lots of successful Steemians have taken their followers for granted.
Happy Steeming :)
Very right @nathanmars. Many are addicted to phone like anything. Even inside dream some will still be looking for there phone all around. The phone must be in there hands for at least 18hours.
Thanks for sharing..
I'm fine with people to have phone in their hands for 18hrs as long as they are doing something useful.
Don't misuse tools and it's harmful. Definitely don't misuse people and it's bad KARMA..
Have a great day @mikolo :)
U are right but I want us to look at it from this point of view phone's usefulness is of multipurpose and the need do arise anytime, anyday is all our daily routine be it for calling, for browsing even to be an effective steemian you must be with your phone from time to time....So sir, let's look at it from that side and your observation is highly welcome
Yes I'm looking at it from your side, and you sound like you know how you can use Steemit tool effectively.
Please use the tool carefully and don't damage it because so many others are also using the same tool effectively
Absolute correct,technology have help us by far,it now depend on how we used it either postively or nagatively...
Thanks for agreeing with most people here on the comment section!
Enjoy your day !!!
This very good and amazing post @nathanmars you always come out with amazing post,this technology we are saying it as bad effect likewise positive effect it now depends on how individual's use it....thanks for sharing
You’re welcome:)
Have a wonderful day!
The phone has become the adult's transitional object, replacing the toddler's teddy bear for comfort and a sense of belonging
Nice post thanks for the post.
I agree with you.
mobile phone is used when we need it.
I like your post.
Thanks for sharing us @nathanmars
Use Steemit, when you can give something that others can benefit from...
Happy Steeming @aulnyaksyabandi
Ok, i will try for it @nathanmars
Short but informative words though it has numerous advantages but sincerely this phone has negative effect which must not the underemphasize . Nowaays youth has priotize this phone to other important part of their life infact I do see some typing along the road and all these is very dangerous to our life.
Thank you!
Yes Steemit tool also bring us numerous advantages.. Please inspire your fellow Steemians to don't walk around here dangerously..
Thank you so much and Happy Steeming :)
How are you? this is so true today we carry the cell phone everywhere we go I think we pay more attention to the cell phone than any other things you have not set as in meetings or family dinners or friends are all stuck with their cell phones ? it's as if we are possessed and we miss everything we have beautiful around or spend time with our families just to be in front of that screen
I'm doing really well and hope you're doing well too @yesslife..
We must choose not spend too much time on the screen...
Happy Steeming !!!
Sir most welcome.
Really sir so great comment
