    About this ebook

    The question you should pose before self is “Am I spending more time with my smart-phone than with my partner even during romantic encounters or sessions?” We cannot deny that electronic technology today allows us to be constantly and instantly be connected to the world wide information source points of our desires, but it has also become a mode of disconnection from each other. Recent studies show that cell phones have had a negative impact on relationships between men and women, known as couples, for the past few years that it has been availed to humanity. A research carried out by the University of Essex in the UK found out that people who busied themselves in personal discussions when their smart-phone was nearby, even if neither party was actually using it, reported lower relationship quality and less trust for their partner. They also felt their partner was less compassionate to their concerns in relationship to them by being engrossed in their phones.

    Will Anthony, Jr

    Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More than anything, He salutes Smashwords Inc. for the platform.In retrospect, He recalls a Dr. Alfred Sam, a friend of his from North America who was also a dean of studies in a local university, exposing his white ass in the university's auditorium to catch attention. The noise ceased as students and lecturers turned to look at the grown-up man on the podium doing the abominable. Well, the good Dr. in anthropology then simply pulled up his trousers buckled the belt and said, "Thank You, now I have your attention..."For the sake of simplicity, without much display of academia, Will Anthony Jr. is a writer in the global village market . For this, he Salutes all his readers and all lovers of written work. In a word of caution, he says that men and women alike must bear. In reference, there is an Ibo saying that every market place has it's mad people who will attempt to mar the business of the seemingly sane people. On the other hand, the English say everyone is mad, it's only the degree madness that is at variance. Salutes most profoundly!

      INTRODUCTION

      The question you should pose before self is Am I spending more time with my smart-phone than with my partner even during romantic encounters or sessions? We cannot deny that electronic technology today allows us to be constantly and instantly be connected to the world wide information source points of our desires, but it has also become a mode of disconnection from each other. Recent studies show that cell phones have had a negative impact on relationships between men and women, known as couples, for the past few years that it has been availed to humanity. A research carried out by the University of Essex in the UK found out that people who busied themselves in personal discussions when their smart-phone was nearby, even if neither party was actually using it, reported lower relationship quality and less trust for their partner. They also felt their partner was less compassionate to their concerns in relationship to them by being engrossed in their phones.

      Besides, other studies suggest that these handy communication gadgets can effectively distract attention from the present moment. Imagine being talked to but you are so engrossed in your phone communicating with others who are not with you physically in the moment. That is a major problem, this is authenticated by the results of the Mobile Mindset Study survey that found out that three out of five U.S. smart-phone users don't go more than an hour without going over their gadgets.

      If we can dare to go deeper, smart-phones, tablets, and laptops coupled with the social media sites that these gadgets support, possess a real potential capable of tearing couples and families apart. What amazes is the way people want to use their phones even in restricted places. The cell phone makers have put a lot of time in the manufacture of smart-phones to provide people with ability to perform other things beyond listening to music, taking and watching videos, taking pictures, making calls and writing short messages. It is most ridiculous to possess a smart-phone just to make calls, SMS and watch videos. It is sinful to allow your phone to take over your mind and fundamental social life!
