Have
you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy
talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat 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(身份) bury themselves in their
phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty
woman takes selfie 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 the destruction of the world.
Although
the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your
health is the first to bear the effect and result 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.
