Picking Sides: A Day Without Food Or A Phone?
Have you ever been out of coverage before and it feels as though you are disconnected from the world? Well, a popular network provider in my country has this adage "Data is life," and I agree with it.
Yesterday and today have been frustrating for me as I have been struggling to come online, it is not like I do not have a sufficient data plan but the network has been very poor and it has made me so annoyed, tired and frustrated leaving me unproductive.
I would say, my phone is almost my everything not because I am an addict but because of what I do with it.
As a fashion designer, I get to showcase my handiwork on different platforms to the world using my phone and gaining more clients, I get to communicate with my clients, as I receive new styles from them through the phone.
My phone is very handy, as I carry out banking transactions with the snap of my finger, I can order goods and services in the comfort of my phone.
I can write this prompt because I am on my phone, I capture sweet memories with my phone, and I have the holy scripture on my phone which I can read at any time, even when I am not with the hard copy.
I have a diary on my phone, I have an exercise app on my phone, and more that I get to reach my loved ones using my device and when I am bored I get to watch funny memes on the internet.
What can I not do with my phone? I can watch movies, listen to music, watch live matches (being an upcoming football lover, hehe) and so much more.
Why am I talking so much about my device?
Well, here comes this question;
There are so many things we can’t go a day without as humans. Would you choose a day without your phone or a day without food? Tell us why.
For the above reasons, if I have to choose between a phone and food, I will pick my phone over the food, a day without my phone is like a day in the wilderness😌, my phone is my office, and staying without my phone is like telling me to shut my business, man must not live by bread alone o🤣.
More to that, one can be so occupied with their phones that they forget to eat, so long as you're enjoying what you're doing. I have experienced a time when my screen was broken, I was so unhappy throughout the day, even though I ate a lot that day, I felt it that something was missing, couple with the fact that the world has gone digital now.
If I starve today, I would have enough to eat today and tomorrow with the business conversations I make with my phone, so in all honesty, my phone has a special place in my heart more than food.😌
Hahaha, everyone has reasons for making certain decisions and today I find the prompt for this week fascinating.

Even though I truly get your point and respect it, sis I am still on team food o. Closing your office for a day will not make so much as difference on your health as closing your stomach would....after all doing public holidays, offices are shut down.
So you keep your phone and I'll keep that sweet fried riceabd chicken, you have got there. Do send it over via binance😜 soon. Cheers.
Hehe, everyone has got their preference. Thank you for visiting.
🤗👍
Greetings @amiegeoffrey it's really hard to be without a phone, I understand you because it has happened to me, but being without food puts me in a bad mood hahaha, at least it was only one day!
Hahaha, different strokes for different folks, thanks for visiting.
Beautiful write up and I really enjoyed your point of view
Thanks a bunch.
Only one day oh! We can just use the one day to fast for a better week and blessings hahaha 😝.
Phone is important for all off us. Especially for emergencies and otherwise. Food 🥘 should wait.
Thanks for being on our team @amiegeoffrey . We go survive after one day. Greetings.
Hahaha, thanks for visiting.

My dear, I will go with food ohh. I love myself too much that I can't allow any ulcer to harm me. Phone can wait. But for food, I need it right away.
Thanks for sharing
Different strokes for different folks haha, thanks for stopping by.

I don't want to remember how I felt those days without network..now it feels better
My dear, I have starved many times due to how engrossed I am with my phone..so I can easily go a day without food..let me have my phone and explore my world.. tomorrow, I will eat
😂

Yes ooh, I just can't imagine myself staying without my phone haha.
I can totally relate to prioritizing your phone/device over food for a day! In our hyper-connected world, being disconnected feels like you're stranded without access to pretty much every aspect of your life and work.
Thanks for the lovely feedback
Something came to my mind as I read this statement. Working with my phone has several times delayed me from eating but I can't remember when eating delayed me from using my phone. Wow, phone has become an integral part of our existence.
The network glitch on that Thursday and Friday frustrated me a lot. I couldn't curate on my lovely #dreemport in those two days. It was as if something was missing in me. I tried to publish a post through neoxian frontend and the network made the mess of me. Whereas the publishing wasn't showing any sign of being successful, the article has been published in multiple times. It was frustrating.
Cheers from a fellow #dreemer

What a beautiful feedback this is, thanks for coming around.
Finally, I found someone who agreed to choose a phone instead of food. I'm a foodie but I will do perfectly well without food for one day but can't say the same when it comes to my phone.
Go Lady, more clients and money to your brand.

Different strokes for different folks right? Thanks for coming around
I understand all the Importance of having a phone but food is also important in this life. As much as I love my phone, I need food.😂

Okay, that's your point of view though. Thanks for visiting.
