 * Question**
 * How do we know we made a good job and we made a change in peoples lives and changed the way they think about Smartphones?**

Summary:
 * we made a recent survey in which people answered that Smartphones have changed their lives in a good way, but they can get addicted to it. This means that people really need to think about what they are doing before they buy a Smartphone because if they get addicted to it, they could have the same risk as an alcoholic to get some pretty shocking side effects. I think that by impacting people we can help them really understand how bad Smartphones can be and how depressed, anxious, angry and isolated people can become. **
