It’s interesting how people see “smartphones” as a thing which “connects” people.

I prefer to call them “portable computers”, which are able to communicate with each other iff a communication link is established.

If I were to set the question, I would replace “smartphones” with “the advancement of telecommunication technologies and digital electronics”.

根據國際單位制(SI),”hour”(「小時」)及”day”(「日」或「天」)之定義均為秒的倍數,而秒則定義作銫133原子基態的兩個超精細能階間躍遷對應輻射的9,192,631,770個週期的持續時間,與地球自轉速度無關。惟人類及其他動植物的生活特性以日出日落之時間作基礎,故改變「天」之定義對人類生活絕無影響。人類只會再發明另一與地球自轉週期相約之單位,並於日常生活中改用該單位。
