Is it possible to live without a mobile phone or any connected device nowadays?

 

Hey friend,

I hope my message finds you well. I would like to talk to you about a topic that has been in my mind lately that is the possibility to live without a mobile phone or any connected device nowadays. In my opinion, I think it is not possible because first of all, many administrative tasks have to be done online, sometimes we do them on our phones. Moreover, everybody is connected thanks to the Internet to everything. In fact, not having a cellphone can be a real social handicap. In addition, if you are confronted to an emergency, your phone will be the fastest way to warn someone and ask for help. To finish with, for us, as teenagers, we communicate together everyday via our mobile phones or on our computers through the different social media platforms. Eventually, all these connected devices belong to our daily lives and we cannot live without them.

And what about, what do you think?

Have nice day and see you soon.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
