without reaching into your pocket, pulling out your smart phone and checking your or WeChat? Don39。t panic. You are hardly alone. A recent survey shows that smart phone users have developed “checking habit” frequently checks of s and other Apps. The checks normally lasted less than 30 seconds and were often done every 10 minutes.On average, the study subjects check their phones 34 times a day. And the strangest part is that they don39。t even realize they are doing it. I hadn39。t told my hand to reach out for the phone. It seemed to be doing it all on its own, wrote Elizabeth Cohen, a medical correspondent for CNN who watched her right hand sneaking away from her side to grab her phone while sitting on the table at dinner with friends.Loren Frank, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), explains that checking smart phones is rewarding in some way. Each time you get an , it39。s a little bit exciting, because it means a positive feedback that you39。re an important person, Frank told CNN. Once the brain bees used to this positive feedback, reaching out for the phone bees an automatic action you don39。t even think about consciously, said Frank. Professor Clifford Nass of Stanford University added that constantly checking your smart phone is also “an attempt to not have to think hard but feel like you are doing something”.However, every coin has two sides. This habit can cause problems. Studies show that whenever you take a break from what you are doing to check your smart phone, it is hard to go back to your original task, according to Adam Gazzaley, a neurologist at UCSF. That39。s not the worst. A survey by South Korean marriage consulting agency Duo earlier this year shows that smart phones are destroying intimate relationships, reports The Korea Herald(韓國(guó)先驅(qū)報(bào)).About half of the respondents said they had had fights with their boyfriend or girlfriend because of smart phones. And 32. 8 percent of them fought about smart phone obsession. In this respect, checking smartphones at regular intervals is a bad habit. But just as an old saying goes, Bad habits die hard.
