How long can l last without using my phone? before I answer this, you need to understand the bond my phone and I. I and my phone have a solidarity relationship or should I say a symbiotic relationship. If I'm being sincere before the whole graduation stuff it has always been me and my phone, I'm not really a fan of sharing my thoughts or talk about it. The only way I know how to do that is probably to write poems about it which I write down either on the note app on my phone or my poem book. Due to the kind of activities I use my smart phone for it is very difficult for me to do without it, I remember a time my phone was snatched by pick pockets {Swindlers or thieves that make a living by stealing through deeping hands into people's bags or pocket on the street or bus stop} they are mostly common in crowded areas. This incident happened in acme street, agidigbi, Ikeja, Lagos State. We were rushing to board a bus, my phone was in my front pocket. Immediately I noticed a hand in my pocket but before I could find time to get hold of it, my phone was already gone. That was one of the most saddest moment of my life because I had a lot of files on that phone, it took me about a week before I could get another smartphone but that one week without my phone felt like forever. I also use my smartphone for my business endeavours, despite managing a physical business, I depend so much on online advertisement to get in touch with customers. It is kind of a norm these days, every business owner understand how value the internet is when it comes reaching out to people, especially social media.
As an individual, over the years I have grown fond of the usage of social media to perform some activities most especially reaching out to people, advertise any kind of product or services I wish to create awareness for. Though I wouldn't say I'm actually a pro in making use of social media, looking at the rate at which I use social media to perform tasks, I still consider my activities on social media to be limited. Probably because I'm not really building any professional career on social media, maybe if that is the case i would have made use of social media more often but since that is not the case looking at my statistical record of usage of social media on my device I realise social media apps or platforms I make use of are very few, which includes WhatsApp, telegram, X, discord e.t.c. Apart from that, one of the major things I use my smart phone is to perform activities on my hive account. Though when I first started my hive career, I occasionally make use of my laptop for writing and publishing of post but then over time I realized it consumes more data compared to using my phone. For awhile now, I use my smart phone for my hive activities. Being specific about how long I can do without my smartphone is practically impossible because right now, I'm making use of my smartphone. Though I don't make use of my laptop very often, only when I need to edit larger documents or write a story. How dependent are you on your smartphone? well I would say highly dependent. It might sound unhealthy but it is just the way things are. I need my smartphone for a lot of things which increases the rate at which I depend on it.
