Digital addiction to blame?
What is it about a smartphone that entices people so much? Granted, there is that feeling of satisfaction when you’re unboxing a brand new iPhone or another popular Android smartphone. But at the end of the day, it just a gadget with a few apps and that we can live without. However, this was not the case for 20-year-old Hashim, who couldn’t live in a world without a smartphone of his own.
