      3 pros and 3 cons of smart phones
  • Con: Eternally at WorkThe downside to the productivity and communication tools that smartphones provide is that employees are always connected to their work.

Such exhausting constant contact can lead to low morale, poor productivity and malaise in your workforce.
  • Con: Distractions AboundThe smartphone's useful tools are contrasted by the bevy of endless ways you can mindlessly occupy time. Games, social networking applications, videos, and fully functional Web surfing are a few examples.
