Well, I remember back in the time when I used to study in school. I was in grade 5 and I was pretty young, maybe around ten years old, when I got my first mobile device. I was very happy. It was a Nokia, which was a very famous cell phone at that time. I received it as a gift from my uncle when I was around ten or eleven years old. I started using that device just for fun, to play games and pass the time. It was easy to use because back then, there weren't many smartphones around. It was a basic phone with a keypad, and it only had one game - that snack game. It was very helpful for me. When I was a kid, I used to get lost a lot for some reason. So that phone came in really handy for me to call my parents and reunite with them, especially when we went grocery shopping in big hypermarkets. I tended to get lost most of the time. I don't know why. So, yeah, I really enjoyed my first phone.
