When I just completed my school leaving exam, and I was preparing for my college, then I bought a new phone, which is a new technological device I had in my life. So I bought it from an online website using a gift card. I started using the device for my study purposes at first because my college classes were online. I had to use an electronic device because I didn't have any other source of technology at that time. At first, I found it a little difficult to use a touchscreen mobile because before that, I had used a keypad mobile. However, I somehow managed to learn the process of how it works and what features it contains, and how it can be helpful for me. From that day onwards, I still have it. It has been helpful because I do almost all tasks on this mobile, whether it is calling, texting, or storing information like making notes. I do almost everything on my phone, so it is quite useful for me. I bought it for one purpose and ended up using it for something else, but it has been very useful till now.
