it's so alarming how we are so much dependent on our mobile phones now till the extent that we never know when spend more than the normal time we are meant to stay on screen to maintain a good sight or for people who stays on their phones or any other devices for fun or social use with every other thing needed to be sort lying there undone.
These things do not really happen consciously as soon as we get used and adaptive to our phones and devices but subconsciously, we just find ourselves with them again and most especially the phone, pressing it with no actual destination or purpose of what to do. We just wanna press and will I just call it addiction already cos the indiscipline is now so much that we get carried away even in our place of worship, bringing out our phones for pressing sake to either kill service boredom or just not to pass over the current thing happening online.
For me, I'm not an exception or a saint on this table as I will say I am so used to my phone that you will see me holding it almost all day, pressing and looking so concentrated and might not even hear you on time cos I'm actually deaf to you at that moment till I'm done with what I'm doing. Not even when it has to do with work that I have to be paid for.
You won't blame me though because that is where I hustle and make my urgent 2k from. My phone is my source of income at the moment, a device for searching and applying for white collar jobs and any other available hinted opportunity to earn legally. Even preparing for interviews and getting ready requires me using either my phone or making use of my laptop device so I am always on any of my devices to work. Funny enough, I can't vouch that my phone has basically been used for any entertainment or social purpose as they are all crying for attention.
This doesn't mean I don't have moments where I stay away from my devices and that I have to stay off from it for hours. There are moments when I want to do my house chores, or have to run some errands outdoor even though I still get to make use of my phone while in transit.
I think reflecting and writing about it now makes me kind of reason how well or much I'm really attached to my phone and even if it's in a productive way but then I don't think I'll survive going a day without my phone and I just understand why I almost do faint whenever my phone drops to the floor. Money factory shall not be faulty.
In summary, I'll say that I am so dependent on my phone. So dependent that I can only do away with my phone when I have offline activities to do and when my phone goes off or out of internet, I guess it's just to frustratingly sleep to while away time.
