Band 6+: Describe a piece of technology you use that has significantly changed your daily routine. You should say: - What the device is - How often you use it - What tasks you perform with it And explain how your life would be different without it.

Here I would like to mention the technology of the phone because in a normal day I spend most of my time just scrolling on different social sites, for example Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and some others, and that has changed my life a lot because I think I just waste a lot of time while scrolling. In some ways it helps. For example, if we are looking for something particular and looking for some kind of information, then the phone helps a lot. Also, I am living in Canada and my family is back home in India, so it's a way of communicating; in this way we can communicate with each other and get to know what's happening there. But apart from that, I think it affects my life a lot because I just spend my free time that I could use productively on something else, but I just waste it lying on my screen. And for this one, I think I have been using the phone since 2020, I guess. From that time I started to use it quite often, and before that I used to study books, do art and craft things, DIY at my home, and I just liked to organize the things at home. But nowadays, whenever I come from work, I just sit on a sofa and scroll on my phone, watch the reels on social media, sometimes on the shopping apps, just browsing on those. So in this way, I feel like it has impacted my life a lot, and I really want to control myself to use the screen less. And to reduce my screen time, even for this, I try to put the screen time on my phone so that after spending one hour, it's going to give me a notification that your phone is going to be locked now, but still there's an option that I can avoid it for 15 minutes or I can ignore it for the whole day, and normally I just ignore that for the whole day. So sometimes I feel like I'm going to be late.
