Have you ever been out of coverage before and it feels as though you are disconnected from the world? Well, a popular network provider in my country has this adage "Data is life," and I agree with it.
Yesterday and today have been frustrating for me as I have been struggling to come online, it is not like I do not have a sufficient data plan but the network has been very poor and it has made me so annoyed, tired and frustrated leaving me unproductive.
I would say, my phone is almost my everything not because I am an addict but because of what I do with it.
As a fashion designer, I get to showcase my handiwork on different platforms to the world using my phone and gaining more clients, I get to communicate with my clients, as I receive new styles from them through the phone.
My phone is very handy, as I carry out banking transactions with the snap of my finger, I can order goods and services in the comfort of my phone.
I can write this prompt because I am on my phone, I capture sweet memories with my phone, and I have the holy scripture on my phone which I can read at any time, even when I am not with the hard copy.
I have a diary on my phone, I have an exercise app on my phone, and more that I get to reach my loved ones using my device and when I am bored I get to watch funny memes on the internet.
What can I not do with my phone? I can watch movies, listen to music, watch live matches (being an upcoming football lover, hehe) and so much more.
Why am I talking so much about my device?
Well, here comes this question;
There are so many things we canโt go a day without as humans. Would you choose a day without your phone or a day without food? Tell us why.
For the above reasons, if I have to choose between a phone and food, I will pick my phone over the food, a day without my phone is like a day in the wilderness๐, my phone is my office, and staying without my phone is like telling me to shut my business, man must not live by bread alone o๐คฃ.
More to that, one can be so occupied with their phones that they forget to eat, so long as you're enjoying what you're doing. I have experienced a time when my screen was broken, I was so unhappy throughout the day, even though I ate a lot that day, I felt it that something was missing, couple with the fact that the world has gone digital now.
If I starve today, I would have enough to eat today and tomorrow with the business conversations I make with my phone, so in all honesty, my phone has a special place in my heart more than food.๐
Hahaha, everyone has reasons for making certain decisions and today I find the prompt for this week fascinating.
