The Anxiety of Disconnection: Why Going Phone-Free Feels Impossible

5 days ago

I have never thought of surviving a day without a phone. I grew up to understand my phone as my mini life, one of my only keys to survival and social connections.

Everytine i sleep and wake up i am always on my phone, and his started so many years ago even when i was with my parent, they thought i was so distracted with phone and other things online but what they fail to understand is that we are in “ digital world and everything we do and also the answers to most of our questions is online. Personally, I feel a phone shouldn't be compared with anything because there is so much potential in a phone.

I take my phone as my mini life, where i can easily get answers to anything i need to do, It so annoying seeing how people speak against gadget, saying it is distraction to this generation and it is polluting the younger generation but the truth is, it purely depends on people we tend to follow or connect with online, for example i follow Influencer that teaches how to earn and motivates my indeet unlike some of my friend that get distreacted from unnexessarily things online or comedy videos.

I can go two hours without my phone, but going a day without it will be like hell. Within those two hours, I can be talking to a friend or even playing any sport. A day without my phone will be a really tough day for me, seeing how I got used to being with my phone every time and suddenly I don't have it again will be really tough for me. I feel this might even make me depressed. Although i dont have anyone i might want to talk to that day maybe like a girlfriend or anyone else but i am so damn used to being with my phone which will make things tough not being with my phone.

Reliance on phone shouldnt be bothersome, because it a sign of advancement, which we must adapt to it, like i said, it depend ^n the connectionnwe build on the phobe that we shoukd be worried about not using of the phone, i personally believe phone were made to be used everywhere we go because tbis is like a mini computer that bring answers to everything we need, or need to do.

I feel like in our generation, the phone is a mini-antidote to survival. Honestly, there is almost nothing we cannot do without a phone, except to eat and wear clothes, but a phone is one of the major basic amenities of life that we need. We need phone to communicate, resarch for amswers on the unknow, most times when i fall sick i even browse out the sickness to see whats really wrong with me, Phone makes living easier and adaptable, we can even get to connect with the world news and maps or what ever is goingbon the world.

Man needs to rely on the phone for survival, but we shouldn't be distracted by it from our ambition and goals in life.
