Phones have become an essential part of today's life. Though criticized for all negative social, emotional and physical impact it has on our lives, it is the need of the fast paced life. It has become an addiction more than a need.
However, when it comes to me..I can happily stay without it for few days. Even in my day to day life I keep my phone away from me and attend it only when there is a call. For WhatsApp and other social medias I have a fixed time. I try to use it for good and not to make it an addiction.
I once went for a trekking adventure with a group and left my phone by mistake. I could happily survive without it for the trip of two days.
