One of the most basic things I include in my daily routine is a mobile phone. It's not a secret that phones have conquered the world with their satisfying functions and features, which didn't pass me by either. I've used my phone since childhood when I came to middle school and my parents wanted to buy me a phone for educational purposes. I thought it was a good idea because I could take notes on my school presentations, I could take photos of some slides, and just keep them on my phone. I thought it would help me socialize with my friends more and make new acquaintances. I wanted to check how it feels to live with a phone because you can always make new contacts with people. With social media, you can communicate with your long-distance friends and maintain your friendships with them. This was a good idea for me because I changed schools often. I wanted to keep my friendships with friends and acquaintances, so social media would be the perfect solution for this. But as time passed, I noticed how much time the phone took away from me. I realized it was not such a good idea as I thought before because phones have become a part of my daily routine, but in a negative way. I started to stalk my idols on social media. I thought that I wasn't as good as them, I wasn't as stunning as them. I realized that it wasn't only my way of thinking. I realized that it provides negative associations for other people as well. So phones can be both dangerous and beneficial at the same time.

One of the most basic things I include in my daily routine is a mobile phone. It’s not a secret that phones have conquered the world with their satisfying functions and features, which didn’t pass me by either. I’ve used my phone since childhood when I came to middle school and my parents wanted to buy me a phone for their educational purposes. So I used to think that it was a good idea because I could take notes of my school presentations, I could make photos of some slides and just leave it with a phone. I used to think that it would help me to socialize with my friends more and to make new acquaintances. I wanted to check how does it feel to leave with a phone because you can always just make a new contact with people. When you have social media, you can communicate with your long distance friends and you can maintain your friendship with them. This was such a good idea for me because I used to change schools too much often. I wanted to keep my friendship with friends and acquaintances so social media would be the perfect solution for this. But when time passed by, I used to notice how much time the phone used to bring, used to keep from me. So I realized it was not such a good idea as I thought before because phones have become a part of my daily routine but in a negative way. I started to stalk my idols on social media. I used to think that I’m not as good at them, I’m not as stunning at them. I realized that it’s not only my way of thinking. I realized that it provides negative associations for other people as well. So phones can be dangerous and good in the same place.
