I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone.
I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this challenge to find out.
Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Channel App to find out what to
. On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but
I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.
I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a
for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for
friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And
, I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late.
Getting places was harder, too. I got
because I couldn’t use the GPS (汽车导航系统) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot
because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while
with the other.
But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (联络簿). I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I
the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn’t
my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!
Even with all the problems, however, I found
not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail.
This
was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the
things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend
on our cell phones.
