What is smartphone addiction? (Part I)

 

While a smartphone, tablet, or computer can be a hugely productive tool, compulsive use of these devices can interfere with work, school, and relationships. When you spend more time on social media or playing games than you do interacting with real people or you can’t stop yourself from repeatedly checking texts, emails, or apps – even when it has negative consequences in your life – it may be time to reassess your technology use.

 

Phone addiction, sometimes colloquially known as “nomophobia” (fear of being without a mobile phone), is often fueled by an internet overuse problem or internet addiction disorder. After all, it’s rarely the phone or tablet itself that creates the compulsion, but rather the games, apps, and online worlds it connects us to.

De acordo com o texto, é necessário repensar o uso de tecnologias digitais quando:

    The new careers of the 21st century are turbulent compared to the ideal corporate climb of the 1950s. Owing to the greater 
presence of women in the workforce, diminished job security, and increased focus on psychological aspects of success, many 
workers have moved onto non-traditional career paths. The new careers involve changing organizations, lateral rather than vertical 
moves, and often include interruptions in employment. The expectation is that employees will manage their own careers, choosing to 
work for companies that provide opportunities to meet their objectives. Organizations need to embrace the realities of 21st century 
careers and recognize the importance of programs and policies that enable the careers of their employees. Career-enabling programs 
address time-control issues (e.g., part-time options, job sharing, fl extime, telecommuting, and leaves) as well as knowledge and skill 
development (e.g., training, job rotation, tuition remission, mentoring). Such programs help employees meet both career and life 
goals and will promote the long-term success of the organization.

    McDonald’s unveils details of its $5 meal deal, but are you lovin’ it?

 

    On Thursday, McDonald’s revealed its highly anticipated $5 meal deal.

    Earlier this year the fast food giant came under fire after the receipt from a location in Connecticut went viral for its “outrageous pricing”. Ever since, the company has been working to find ways to win back its customers. Beginning June 25 and lasting for a limited time, McDonald’s will sell a “$5 Meal Deal” that will include: a McDouble cheeseburger, a McChicken sandwich, small French fries, 4-piece chicken nuggets, and small soft drink.

    “We heard our fans loud and clear — they’re looking for even more great value from us, and this summer that’s exactly what they’ll get,” McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger said in a statement.

    The fast food chain also announced that customers would be able to receive a free medium French fries on “Free Fries Friday” when they make a minimum $1 purchase.

    McDonald’s deal comes on the heels of several viral posts claiming the price of a Big Mac has significantly increased in the past several years.

    “The average price of a Big Mac in the US was $4.39 in 2019,” Erlinger stated. “Despite a global pandemic and historic rises in supply chain costs, wages and other inflationary pressures in the years that followed, the average cost is now $5.29. That’s an increase of 21% (not 100%).”
