Smartphone Has Become Biggest Source Of Distraction On Earth-Rep Bamidele Salam

A member of the House of Representatives, Hon Bamidele Salam has described smartphone as the biggest source of distraction on the planet earth.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the federal lawmaker, who represents Ede North/Ede South/Ejigbo/Egbedore federal constituency, Osun State, made this submission in a face book post on Tuesday.

He also noted that if not for smartphones, ‘most of us will work better, get more rest and sleep earlier, maintain good family togetherness, study our holy scriptures, pray more’.

‘I don’t think there is a bigger distraction on earth today than the smartphone.

Passing through security clearance at the Lagos Airport today, I observed a lot of nonchalance as a result of fixation on smartphones by so many personnel. So many people who should be doing some diligence were busy on WhatsApp, Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram and so on.

Fast forward to two hours later and see how guilty I am too.

I had resolved to have a good sleep in flight on my way to Entebbe, Uganda . The air hostess came and told me there was internet on board and that was it. I just switched on my phone and began to browse, chat, watch all manner of funny but actually useless contents on reels, Tiktok etc. rather than stick to my plans to have the good rest I need.

Without our smartphones, most of us will work better, get more rest and sleep earlier, maintain good family togetherness, study our holy scriptures, pray more and have less stress.

The smartphone is, I repeat, the biggest distraction on earth today!’ he wrote-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
