3 The need and popularity of smartphones is growing day by day and currently almost 50% of adults in the USA have their own smartphone. In fact, smartphones have become the basic necessity of today’s society and people use smartphones to browse the Internet rather than using laptops or desktops. This is particularly true for travellers who no longer need to pack their laptop when going on a trip.

4 A lot of young people spend several hours each day playing computer games or using social network websites. Unfortunately, some have developed a serious addiction and the need to access a site and reply to messages is so strong that it can have a negative impact on the individual’s life and their ability to engage in other activities. Some young people can become agitated and irritable if not allowed access to the Internet or their favourite gadget.

More than just a means of transport it has become a leisure activity for a huge number of people. And, why not? It’s the best way to explore both city and country.
