I would like to talk about a time when I started to use a technological device, that is a new mobile phone. It was in, when I was studying in my n standard that I got a phone for myself because it was during the COVID days and I had online classes. So a mobile phone or a laptop was something which is mandatory for education. And since my younger, uh, sibling also had online classes, um, on the same time as mine, so it was very difficult for us to share a, a, ah, single mobile phone that is of my mother’s. So, uh, my parents came to a conclusion that they would buy me a new phone so that I can attend my classes and exams in my phone. So that was the time when I got a mobile phone for myself. Initially, it was very difficult for me to, uh, cope up with the situation because I was not at all used, uh, to mobile phones, or I never used a mobile phone, uh, rather than I have actually used mobile phone, uh, for calling purposes, and I have not used it for any other purposes. So it was actually very difficult for me to get into online classes, um, create a WhatsApp group or text to my friends. Initially, it was very difficult for me, but gradually, uh, I became very familiar with the technology and mobile phone, and it was really quick that I learned about mobile phone and learned how to use different softwares and, uh, different apps in my phone. So that was the time when I started to use, uh, a technological device that is, uh, a new mobile phone.

I'd like to share a time when I started using a technological device, specifically a new mobile phone. It was during my time in the 10th standard, right in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Online classes became mandatory for education, and since my younger sibling also had online classes at the same time, sharing my mother's phone was a real challenge. My parents decided to buy me a new phone so I could attend my classes and exams without interruption. That's when I got my first mobile phone. Initially, it was quite overwhelming. I wasn't used to mobile phones at all, except for making calls. I had never used one for anything else. So, navigating online classes, creating WhatsApp groups, and texting my friends was a bit of a struggle at first. But gradually, I became more comfortable with the technology and the phone itself. I learned how to use different software and apps quickly. That was the moment I truly started using a technological device, a new mobile phone, and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
