It is very difficult to write about a topic that most of the time makes me feel guilty about the way I live my life and how much time I spent on technology. That said, I must confense how necesary is my phone in my daily live.
I got my first phone in fifth grade of elementary school just because that year I started to return alone to my house from school on a bus that took me from the front of my school to the corner of my block in twenty minutes, so my mom said that I had to be communicated all the time because she needed to know if anything happened to me. Emergencies only.

| My very first phone |
At first I only used it to make calls, but as I grew I started to used it to communicate with my friends, I texted them, called them and we talked hours, to plan meetings, etc. Then, in high school, I used it to know people by social media, to chat and to move around city to places I didn't know, to travel unknown streets and the routes and transport I had to use. Nowadays I use it for almost everything. My life has been simplificated by it. There is nothing I can't do on my phone. I buy on it, travel, search places, theater plays, I'm able to know wheather and dress up according to it. To read, write for college and a bunch of other activities, quickly and easly. Really ANYTHING I could imagine.
I think my life without my phone would be very different, not better or worst, but DIFFERENT. Maybe I wouldn´t know all the things I know thanks to internet, but the few things I would know, would be based on real experience, slowly, living intensive. I would listen more, see more and let the moments really begin, develops and end. I think everything would be more sensitive, and significant, but also we couldn't know and conquer everything that people and the world has to offer to us.
I agree with the last thing you said, we must appreciate the real experiences.<3
