Today, people of all age groups are busy with their smartphones and don’t have time for friends and family, this is my personal experience I am sharing, Even when I meet some friends personally, after a few minutes they get involved in their mobiles leaving the conversation midway. People constantly check their phones for notifications, likes, and messages to see what their friends and family are doing which disturbs the talk and irritates the friends, and lead to a neglect of in-person relationships.
Yet, mobile applications (apps) have become crucial to our daily lives, as they facilitate a wide variety of useful tasks such as services (like maps), products (like google sheets), and entertainment (games and movie apps).
