Apreciados padres de familia

Reciban un cordial saludo.

Con motivo del proyecto “la exposición” hemos escogido el tema de adicción a los celulares inteligentes. Investigamos durante 6 semanas a cerca del tema y descubrimos muchas cosas nuevas y formas con las cuales usted puede prevenir que su hijo o usted se vuelvan adictos a ellos.

Primero queremos informarlos un poco a cerca de la adicción a los celulares inteligentes. Esta es una adicción como cualquier otra adicción pero esta es más traicionera ya que es más difícil descubrirla especialmente en los adultos que necesitan su celular para trabajar en sus labores diarias.

La adicción a los celulares se puede dar en personas de todas las edades. Se puede reconocer esta adicción cuando la persona empieza a usar el celular en todo momento, se desespera al no tenerlo, pierde la interacción personal y no puede hacer nada sin él. En Estados unidos y reino unido tienen la mayor cantidad de adictos en el mundo. Un 27% de los accidentes de automóviles en Estados Unidos están causados porque las personas usan su celular al conducir.

El primer paso para curar esta adicción es admitir que usted es adicto, el segundo es entrar a un centro de rehabilitación especializado en esta dicción o simplemente intentar dejar el celular.( la ultima solo se puede hacer cuando la persona esta en la primera fase de la adicción que es usarlo en exceso sin necesidad) Esperamos que usted no sea un adicto!!!

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">This are the flyers we are going to give and to paste around the school: <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">**Here we are showing people our action:** <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">**Uploaded by Daniel. Done by all the group**

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">**Workshop Plan** <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">David: Good Morning kids we are the Smartphone Addiction group and this workshop its part of our action. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">We chose you as a group we are going to present because we believe that we can prevent this so it doesnt happen to you. This addiction get started when smartphones where created.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Daniel: <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">1. The first sign is if you check your phone constantly, not necessarily for missed calls, but text messages, status updates, e-mails, push notifications, etc. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">2. Second, your checking becomes so frequent you develop “checking habits” or the urgency to update or check certain applications such as Facebook, but within 10 minutes of each other. Most “checks” don’t last more than 30 seconds, but it’s the constant glancing down at your phone screen that classifies under this behavior. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">3.Third, you can’t roam around your house or office without having your phone with an arm’s reach. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">4. Another sign of possible addiction is not being able to leave home without your phone. Some people describe it as “being lost” without their pones
 * 1) Characteristics of an addict

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Vicky: 2.It seems like nowadays people can’t go anywhere without their smartphones. Whether its checking the weather, e-mail, bank account, or Facebook updates, smartphones have made mobile connectivity so accessible that today’s younger generations seem much more “addicted” to their smartphones <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">According to Erica Swallow, associate editor of Mashable, the United Kingdom has declared itself a “smartphone-addicted” country. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">51% of adults and 65% of teens say they have used their smartphone while socializing with others.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Daniel: I also read that 26% of americans have digestion problems because they go to the toilet with they iPhone. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">37% of car accidents in china are cause because texting while driving. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">22% of relationships are over because one of the two are addicted to their smartphone <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">34% of worldwide habitants need a smartphone for working
 * 1) 23% of adults and 34% of teens have used their smartphones during mealtimes.
 * 2) 22% of adult and 47% of teens admitted using or answering their smartphone while in the bathroom

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Melissa: Connection Study, being addicted to smartphones is similar to being addicted to drugs. No wonder the device was coined “ Crackberry” its a tough habit to break. 49% of the people say that they keep theyr smartphones nearby when they are going to sleep so they can listen for new messages. || <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Melissa: Responsibility <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">This addiction we could say could bring to major problems that can affect your health, security and more. In few cases unfortunately people become so addicted to write on smartphones specialy on Black Berrys that few persons get fractured their thumbs. Also people while driving they have been lots of cases the last years because texting while driving, people become more concentrated in their smartphones than in the road.
 * || Experts say that as many as 6% of Smartphone users are determined addicts. According to a Rutgers university

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">David: How to cure your Smartphone addiction <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">First, admit that your phone is managing you. It's simple, but once you confess there's an issue, then you can deal with it. Then try telling your colleagues that you're only checking your email at certain times of the day - so then they don't wonder why they didn't get the instant response that they're used to. For example, say you're only going to check your inbox when you get into work, then again at 10:30 a.m., after lunch, and at 3:30 p.m. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Vicky: But what if the day becomes a whirlwind and you break the system you set up—it's just automatic that you check it as a break from that big project. You can make a change and you can fix this problem, so it doesn't happen to you in the future! <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Now we are going to play a game please slip into 4 groups. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Please Memorise!!! <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">We have the t-shirts, they look really cool.Daniel
