What impact does your mobile phone have on your life?

A few days ago, there was an electrical issue at my place. I didn't have fuel because there was a fuel scarcity, and my power bank was no longer working again. As a result my phone battery died. Now, I'm someone who is almost always on their phone, I don't have a laptop at the moment, or any other device (except for my backup phone which I forgot to charge). So my phone is basically where my whole life is situated. Once my phone went off, I was in severe pain. I looked around a bit and was wondering what I'd do with my life from there. I was basically sad Pablo

I sat down in my room and began to think about my life (I have a really good life by the way xd). I was so bored. Okay let me watch a movie, oh Wait? My phone. OK let me call a friend, phone. Let me listen to music, phone. Let me check what's going on around me, phone. All my immediate thoughts were towards things I required my phone for. I tried drawing, I sucked so I gave up. Then I slept for a while, I woke up, and that's when I picked up a book (Burn by Ted Dekker) to read. Usually I've been reading soft copies, but paperbacks feel so much nicer. I managed to keep myself busy, that was until the power came back and I binned the book xd. Just joking, I dropped it gently ;-)

Now during that time that my phone died, even though I didn't receive any calls or direct messages (lonely guy stuff xd) I was totally disconnected from the world around me. If any once in a lifetime opportunity had arisen at that time I'd have missed it. Moreover my phone is my number one source for information. I'm that's never too far away from the Google search bar. The moment I don't know something I search it. Then there's the fact that I earn some money off it, thanks to hive and my little investments in crypto. If any time sensitive transaction opportunities were to arise I'd miss them. Also my day would have been much more interesting if my phone wasn't dead.

Though I mentioned all the reasons why my phone battery running out was a bad thing, It also had it's little advantages (yeah, I know, hard to believe, but it does). First major one was that my eyes stopped hurting. Once In a while, my eyes hurt, so I take my eyes off the screen for a little while (or at least try xd). But this time it was compulsory. Then I also took a nap, which I don't do very often when my phone is switched on. It also made me try out drawing, before ultimately reading, which is very good (breeding creativity).

Now this is just because my phone battery was dead for the majority of the day, I can't even begin to think of how I'll cope if my phone were to go missing, or get permanently damaged. Which is why I decided to back up my phone. Also I know phone or device addiction is real, which is why I'll be trying to manage my screen time from now on.

What Impact does your phone or your devices have on your life? What would you do if they suddenly went missing or permanently damaged? Feel free to tell me in the comment section. Have a wonderful day.

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome.

They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years.

What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism

A lot of folks do not know how to use their phones to even make money and stay informed.
They just spend time on frivolous things

I'm sure I'll live without it. In this case it's not the device that's really important, it's what's on it. That's why I'm backing it up.

I can relate a lot with what you described, and we both need to take care. It's dangerously close to addiction territory.

Good luck in your journey and safe travels

I get this part 😅😅😅 especially dropping it gently with a smile that the power has been restored. Lol

Same with me, should I say my life relies on my phone? Because I am always with my phone 24/7 and when it's down and no light, everything around me would be bored. I will sleep but it won't come and i would be comfortable until I get to charge my phone.

This has happened to my lately and I felt terrible. I envied hubby that had battery on his phone. I suddenly felt sick. He laughed and teased that he had to go find fuel for me to charge my devices. I wonder how we coped those days before technology

Azin, I can't imagine how we used to live without tech in the past. But as always it's always good to balance out usage. Thanks for stopping by.

Now I try not to upgrade my phone every 2 years. It is quite common here to always upgrade your phone every 2 years with renew telcom plan for discounts price. But overall, you will be paying for a lot of hidden fee. The phone I have is currently about going to be 4 years old and I hope to make it last.

And it is mostly working fine, except the batt is about 50% of its peak. But overall, it is still a great phone with no lag issue.

My phone is pretty much my whole life too. It is my TV, my radio, my book, my newspaper, my computer, my gaming system, my phone, my camera. There is so much integration these days!
