Topic > Technology Addiction: A Personal Account - 1058

I was trying to figure out how I could live without my phone. My dad told me it would be a week before I could get a new phone. Those words were bad to hear because I basically survive without my phone, it was my alarm to wake me up for school and it was where I talked to all my friends. I honestly felt like I would be socially isolated because I needed my phone to connect with all my friends too. That week was truly hell for me, I struggled to wake up to go to school because I didn't have an alarm every morning. I felt disconnected with my friend because at school they talked about everything that was happening on social media and I was the incompetent girl who knew absolutely nothing. It was almost as if, by not having my phone, I was disconnected from everything. I honestly never thought I could survive that week. I promise myself that I will never be without my phone
