The convenience of having smartphones today has definitely taken us into the cyber world. We can do anything we'd like with the quick touch on our screens. It is so easy for us to get distracted and entertained with these devices, and the majority of us can not imagine our lives without them. What if we one day woke up and our smartphones were gone? Can you imagine the anxiety you would get not having a devices with schedules, social media accounts, emails, texts, and calls? All of a sudden we would all realize the beautiful things you can see if you would stop liking pics on Instagram, trying to make a great story on Snapchat, or checking in on your Facebook page. Without the distractions of your phone, you would simply, just be living life.
Dear Smartphone,
You have made my life, so much easier. I can't imagine life without you. I mean, you've been there through it all with me. From waking me up, to alerting me with my daily schedule, to answering all my questions, and did I mention you remember everything I don't have to remember anymore? Despite the good things, you have also added stress and complexity to my life. I think we need a break...
If there would be no phone, the would be more $$$ in your Pocket:
With the pressures of your peers to have a great Instagram Post, going out of your way to snap a great picture for your following is trending. From showing the places we have adventures on, to the restaurants we eat, to the fun and on-going social life we create. It all comes with a price tag.
More Attention:
We would pay more attention to everyone around us. We would be more cautious of what is around us, with higher attention spans.
Less Influenced:
We would be less influenced by others and more unique. We wouldn't be so "inspired" by others and discover our own creative ways.
Less Hungry:
With all the yummy foods posted online, you have became such a foodie, which it isn't bad but it sure does open up your appetite a lot more. Let's face it, these images online make us all hungry, and have us wishing we could be eating that!
Know People's Phone Numbers:
Our memory span would be increasing by memorizing phone numbers again. You would know your grandma's phone number, when you need home remedies to get rid of a cold.
Now, that I had had this break to think things through, I realized that I do not need my Smartphone for everything in my life. I will now put my phone down from time to time and cherish life without being connected to a device.
Sincerly,
The Person Who Paid A Lot of Money to Have You.
