The one technol- the one electric device that I for sure could not live without would be my cell phone. The- my cell phone I got it when I was maybe around 10 years old. Not the same one, but my first phone I got when I was around 10 years old. especially the last 20 years I’ve been very addicted to use it. I use it every day for almost everything. I use it when I go to work. I use it to look up things, to look up news, to take pictures, and to stay in contact with friends and family. I also use it for my study when I’m prepping for my test and use it as a watch, use it as a map if I’m going driving, it helps me to show me the direction of where I’m going. If I’m going shopping I usually use it before I go on a shopping trip and then I look up the shop and what do they have, what do I need, I need this specific thing, how can I find it and which aisle is it in the shop. I think to live without the phone now would be very, very difficult because then you will have to go back in time like 30 years and starting to use a manual map, starting to talking to people and starting to remember things in my head or just write things down. I think it’s really difficult to go back in time. So for sure that my cell phone is the most important electric device that I use every airways all day and way too much should use it a bit less I think.
