Ifoni yakho yazi okuningi ngawe: Ayigcini nje ngokuveza ubuthakathaka bakho ekuthengeni izicathulo ku-inthanethi nokulutha kwakho kwi-Candy Crush, kepha ingafunda nokushaya kwenhliziyo yakho, ilandelele imikhuba yakho yokulala, ikushukumisele ekuzivocavoca umzimba, futhi ishintshe isikhathi sakho. Futhi kungekudala uzokwazi ukwengeza "ukuqapha impilo yakho yengqondo" ohlwini.

Ngokuya kocwaningo oluncane oluqhamuke eNyakatho-ntshonalanga Yunivesithi, ukuthi sisebenzisa kanjani futhi kuphi izingcingo zethu kungaba wuphawu lokucindezeleka. Abacwaningi babheke ukuthi kaningi kangakanani ababambiqhaza basebenzisa amafoni abo phakathi nosuku futhi bathola ukuthi nsuku zonke, abantu abacindezelekile bafinyelela kumaseli abo izikhathi ezingaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kunalabo abangenawo ukucindezeleka. Lokho kungabonakala sengathi kubuyela emuva-ngemuva kwakho konke, abantu abacindezelekile bavame ukuzivalela kude nomhlaba wonke. Futhi nakuba ithimba locwaningo belingazi kahle ukuthi abantu benzani emafonini abo, basola ukuthi ababambiqhaza abadangele bebengakhulumi nabangani noma umndeni kodwa bebesebenzisa iwebhu futhi bedlala imidlalo. (Lokhu yi-Brain On: Depression.)

"Abantu kungenzeka, uma besezingcingweni zabo, bagweme ukucabanga ngezinto ezikhathazayo, imizwa ebuhlungu, noma ubudlelwano obunzima," kusho umbhali omkhulu uDavid Mohr, Ph.D., isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo emtholampilo kanye nomqondisi weCentre for Behavioral Intervention Technologies eNyuvesi yaseNorthwestern. "Ukuziphatha kokugwema esikubona ekucindezelekeni."

U-Mohr nozakwabo baphinde basebenzisa izici ze-GPS zamafoni ukuze balandelele ukunyakaza kwezifundo usuku lonke, bebheka ukuthi zingaki izindawo ezihlukene abazivakashelayo, lapho bechitha khona isikhathi esiningi, nokuthi isimiso sabo sasivamile kangakanani. Ithimba lakhe lithole ukuthi abantu abacindezelekile bahamba kancane, banemikhuba engahambisani, futhi bachitha isikhathi esiningi besekhaya. (Yizwa indaba yokunqoba yowesifazane oyedwa: "Ukugijima Kwangisiza Ukunqoba Ukucindezeleka Nokukhathazeka".) "Lapho abantu becindezelekile, bavame ukuhoxa futhi bangabi nawo umdlandla noma amandla okuphuma bayokwenza izinto," kuchaza uMohr.

Kepha mhlawumbe ingxenye ethakazelisa kakhulu yocwaningo kwakuwukuthi lapho imininingwane yocingo yayiqhathaniswa nemiphumela yohlu lwemibuzo lokuhlolwa kokucindezeleka lwendabuko, ososayensi bathola ukuthi ucingo lwalubikezela kangcono ukuthi ngabe umuntu ucindezelekile noma cha, kukhomba ukugula kwengqondo Ukunemba okungamaphesenti angama-86.

“Ukubaluleka kwalokhu ukuthi siyakwazi ukubona uma umuntu enezimpawu zokucindezeleka nobucayi balezo zimpawu ngaphandle kokubabuza imibuzo,” kusho uMohr. "Manje sesinesilinganiso esinqunyiwe sokuziphatha esihlobene nokudangala. Futhi sikuthola ngokungenzi lutho. Izingcingo zinganikeza imininingwane ngokungabonakali futhi kungabikho mzamo kumsebenzisi." (Lapha, kuchazwe izindlela zokwelapha ezi-8 ezihlukile zempilo yengqondo.)

Ucwaningo lincane futhi akucaci kahle ukuthi isixhumanisi sisebenza kanjani-ngokwesibonelo, ingabe abantu abacindezelekile basebenzisa izingcingo zabo kakhulu noma ukusetshenziswa kwefoni okungapheli kwenza abantu bacindezeleke, njengoba kushiwo kolunye ucwaningo? Kodwa naphezu kokulinganiselwa, abacwaningi bacabanga ukuthi lokhu kungaba usizo olukhulu kubo bobabili odokotela nakubantu abacindezelekile, okuyisifo sengqondo esivame kakhulu. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi odokotela abakwazi ukukhomba lapho abantu sebeba lula nokucindezeleka kodwa bangasebenzisa idatha yocingo ukusiza ukuqondisa uhlelo lokwelashwa, noma ngabe lokho kukhuthaza umuntu ukuthi aphume kakhulu noma asebenzise ifoni yakhe kancane.

Lesi sici asitholakali kumafoni (okwamanje!), Kepha, okwamanje, ungaba usosayensi wakho. Cabangela lokho okusebenzisa ifoni yakho ukuze uxhumane kakhulu nabanye noma ukuhlehla emhlabeni. Uma kungukugcina, cabanga ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho ngempilo yakho yengqondo futhi angakusiza wenze izinqumo ezihlakaniphile nge-smartphone yakho noma ngaphandle kwayo.
