Without my phone, I wouldn't be able to keep in contact with the friends I make doing programs over the summer, or during field hockey camps/clinics. I wouldn't be able to talk to my family that lives in England or Arizona. I miss them all too much even with my phone!
I wouldn't be able to formulate plans of meeting them again over the summer or to just talk about day to day life whenever I'd like. Without my phone, I wouldn't get to see updates on social media about how they're doing, like seeing the cute videos of my little twin cousins toddling about that my aunt sends me or how my friend got into a dream school after four years of hard work (yay!!!). I wouldn't be able to text my mom if she was on a business trip or visiting her family. For this reason alone, I don't think I could stand to be without my phone knowing how far away so many people I care about are.
While the absolute number one reason why I appreciate my phone as much as I do is because I can keep in contact with my family and friends, it's so easy for looking up a quick question you have. Though it's not hard to fall prey to falsehoods that seem ubiquitous on the Internet, if you know how to properly navigate the web you'll be just that much more educated. I don't think I've really ever appreciated how cool the internet and one's phone is before writing this.
I agree with this for myself. It made me think about how different the world would be if no one had cell phones. It's crazy to think about in the modern day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute picture! I bet most of use feel this exact way.
ReplyDeleteVery true, we do everything on our phones now, and if we didn't have them it would be a lot harder to get in contact with family and friends.
