Dongwon Kang/Essay proposal/Wed 3-4

I chose 'Smartphone Addiction' as a topic for my essay to warn people who spend a lot of time using smartphones of the problems and dangers that can arise from smartphone overuse. In the introductory paragraph, I will start with a question: 'Are you suffering from Nomophobia(no-mobile-phone-phobia)?' and then I will categorize the main problems of smartphone addiction into 3 types addressing each of them in the body paragraph. The first problem is that smartphone addiction can damage our health badly. Spending long time on smartphones can decrease our visual acuity and also cause insomnia. Next, excessive smartphone use can lead to unexpected budget cuts. People who are addicted to smartphone games impulsively charge large amount of money to get game items. Lastly, people who are addicted to smartphones have difficulty in making relationship with others in reality. People obsessed with smartphones tend to avoid having interaction with someone in reality because they may concentrate more on their SNS-based relationship. In the concluding paragraph, I will summarize the main points of the essay and suggest the readers to reduce the time spent on smartphones and pay more attention to the reality.
