I always picture myself
checking my cellphone while walking and hit a tree or something. I mean, that
never happens yet but I can see it happen. Still I like to constantly check my
phone. And I see a lot of people on campus doing this. Sometimes I know I have
nothing to do on the phone but I’ll still unlock the screen, swipe around and
lock it again. I’m not sure if it’s caused by some kind of insecurity or
something. Checking my phone every once in a while becomes a habit. Of course I
miss the time when people only have that kind of keyboard phone that can only
make phone calls and send text. But honestly I like the convenience smart
phones and other technology brought us. But when it becomes too developed, it
becomes something people rely on. Cell phone was invented because people can
communicate easier this way. They can’t carry phone around and they can’t find
payphone anywhere anytime. But now cell phone brought us way more than just convenient
communication. It becomes a thing people use to avoid loneliness, awkwardness
and all those feelings that they don’t want to face directly. They choose to
hide on their phone and stay in the imaginary world instead of facing the real
world. I appreciate the advantages that technology brought us. It totally leads
us to a brand new world. But on the other hand, people need to use these
technologies in the right way.
