There have been so many amazing inventions over time—things created to make life easier and more comfortable for us as humans. But if I had to choose my favourite invention that really stands out to me on a personal level, I would say it’s the cellphone.
I genuinely love the creation of cellphones. In fact, I wouldn’t even be able to write this right now if not for my phone. It plays such a huge role in my daily life. It helps me stay connected with the outside world. Through platforms like Hive, it gives people the chance to know me better, read my thoughts, and just engage with me in ways that wouldn’t have been possible before.
One of the things I appreciate most about the cellphone is how it has made communication so simple and instant. No matter where someone is—whether across town or across the world—I can speak to them in real time. My brother is currently in the United Kingdom, and i have been able to communicate with him freely since i have a phone with me. That alone brings me so much peace and joy.
Honestly,I can’t even imagine going for days without my phone. It’s something I always need by my side. I use it to stay updated with what’s happening around me, and sometimes, when I’m feeling stressed or worried, I just watch funny videos to laugh and ease my mind and most times that small escape usually helps me a lot.
Right next to the cellphone, another invention I deeply appreciate is electricity. Without it, many things we use daily—like our phones, fans, fridges, and lights—wouldn’t function. For me personally, I always feel a sense of relief and joy whenever I see that there's power. It means I can charge my phone, power my devices, and enjoy a more comfortable life without constantly worrying about battery life or darkness.
I really don’t like heat at all, so especially during the hot season, electricity becomes even more important for me. With it, I can just switch on the fan and stay comfortable indoors without sweating endlessly or dealing with heat rashes and skin irritations. I can stay in my room, doing my thing—maybe writing, watching videos, or just relaxing—without any discomfort or distractions.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot of that idea of creating something of my own—something meaningful that could help others. I have been toying with the idea of an app or a tool that helps people get better at public speaking. This idea means a lot to me because I know what it feels like to stand in front of a crowd and freeze. I am currently dealing with that and infact, I did a presentation recently where I had so much to say, but my nerves got the best of me, and I just couldn’t express myself the way I had planned. It really affected me because boldness is something lecturers look out for in those moments.
However , I know I’m not alone—many students other people face the same struggles as well. That’s why I believe that if I could create something that helps people practice, receive meaningful feedback, and build their confidence, it could truly make a difference and even change lives.
Thanks for reading.
