Why I do not use facebook, messenger, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat anymore in my smartphone?

I used to be a heavy user of my smartphone. I was scoring 5-6 hours of screen-on-time at an average everyday using social and messaging apps and playing games. One day, I decided to change it.





All those notifications, various kinds of tones ringing all the time, addictive messaging apps, constantly scrolling social apps, one after another level of mobile games were eating a hell lot of my useful time! They were making me a less productive human being. Almost 2 months ago, I uninstalled all my social and messaging apps including facebook, messenger, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, hike, imo, viber, hangouts, google plus. I have also uninstalled most of the games from my smartphone. I have only kept telegram as a replacement of sms to communicate with few of my friends and family because telegram is secure, simple and gets the job done. There are 2 games still installed that I played only once or twice in the last 2 months. I have never used prisma and never played pokemon go. :P

The choice was mine, I did everything intentionally. Nobody asked me to do anything like this, I just thought I should do it. Let me be clear about something, I am not against using a smartphone or the social and messaging apps or playing games, I am against “overusing” them! But, for an addicted person, these apps need to be uninstalled and there should be a strong will power within to not to install them again at least for a significant amount of time to get rid of the addiction. Most of these social apps are available online and can be used with a web browser from a computer and now I use facebook and messenger in this way only. That should also be limited to a short time because long sessions of the same in a computer can get a person addicted again. Here too, strong will power is much needed.

Finally, I have managed to get rid of my addiction with my smartphone screen, at least "quite a bit". Nowadays, I only have 2-3 hours of screen-on-time at an average everyday. So, after the transition period of 2 months, I can now understand how much time I was losing on my smartphone. There are some crucial features present in our phones that are directly related to some basic requirements of our modern lives that cannot be avoided. So, a smartphone is an essential part of our daily lives. I still use my phone but mainly for calling, a little texting, reading news articles, a little music occasionally and to click a picture or a video sometimes. Accept it or not, overdoing anything is an addiction. If you have an addiction of any kind that might be destroying your precious time or money or resources or relationships, please get over it. Please get over it because your life needs you, maybe you do not realise but your close ones love you. Understand your potential, you need to do a lot of work and you need to go far before you sleep.

What about giving an iPhone or S7 Edge to a homeless man rather than breaking it?

First of all, let me tell you that I spend at least 1 hour daily on YouTube watching videos, mostly tech videos, educational and informative videos. But I have noticed something strange in recent times. I have seen many YouTubers destroying their smartphones "intentionally" for making a video for the viewers. Not only that, they are dropping, smashing, boiling, freezing, burning, grinding and doing all the possible crazy destructive stuffs to their smartphones! These crazy activities are not only limited to smartphones, they also include other gadgets like tablets, gaming consoles, televisions, computers and what not! The video can attract the attention of us, specially because it is human nature to be protective and cautious about the things we love and we love our smartphones and other costly gadgets for sure. But at the same time, working on these kinds of videos can really be dangerous for those YouTubers who are actually shooting them and most importantly, this is wastage of resource.


I will now give a few examples of the kinds of videos I am talking about -





Why I ask, can't you help a homeless man instead? Can't you see the joy, the magical feeling in their eyes when someone unexpectedly gives them something? They are in need for help and they do not cause any harm to anyone. You can review smartphones and other gadgets and do other creative things with them. A scratch and bend test is also fine, but there is no point of chopping a television off or dropping a smartphone inside a bowl of liquid nitrogen! So, why destroy costly gadgets rather than helping a poor man/woman? Yes, I completely understand that making videos of costly things getting destroyed will attract lots of eyeballs, making the view count of a video reach really high that generates high revenues from advertisements. Making videos about helping poor, homeless people will attract lots of eyeballs too and moreover, it will attract our emotions and empathy, making the view count of a video reach even higher! It makes sure you get the revenue you are looking for, and mainly and most importantly it helps a person who is desperately trying to live for one more day in hope that the next day would bring something good for them. Of course, this is a proven fact and you can check for yourself.


See some emotional videos and the reactions of poor people when they receive any help -



I hope the destruction of costly commodities on YouTube stops and videos about helping the people in need surfaces more and more. Thank you for taking your time to read this. This message needs to be shared all over the world. So, please share this with others if you have the same feelings about this matter. Thanks again.

A pure CSS 3 based AJAX loader animation

This ajax loader animation is made by us, based on pure CSS and "no" GIF or JavaScript or jQuery! And of course, it is easily customizable. If you are super worried about browser support or compatibility issues, a GIF should be the best solution. In case you see any unwanted flickering effect on the animating elements, it is probably due to one or more style property overload by blogger or the theme(this website is hosted on Google Blogger). Visit jsfiddle.net/bfLqdu0m/3/ for source code and a better view.
