Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the
street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat
without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new
“species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central
Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short
film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones,
a doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty
woman takes selfe in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child
without knowing about it while using his mobile phone, a chain of similar events
eventually leads to a series of destruction.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing
can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the consequence (后果) of it. “Constantly bending your head
to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope
that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long
periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your
social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with
family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others
are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of
reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were
robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
