The Apple Without The Worm

I  am going to tell you about something that happened many years ago, around 2010. For some time, I was quite disconnected from all society. I spent 6 months without a mobile.


Back then, I had started working for a telecommunications company and I had to be on the phone mostly all day long, and that's why I decided, in the end, to get rid of the "cell-phone".


Time went by and some day I had an urgency. I had to hand in a very, very important document, but with the rush, I left it over my desk at home, and the only way to get it was to call my friend and ask him to drop by and bring it along.


Having thought so, I rushed out of the underground to get a pay-phone, but guess what, ALL of them were not working, and after several tries, and lot of anguish, I managed to contact my friend and get my papers...but it was already a bit late, and the only way I could get in touch was by borrowing a co-worker's mobile!


Next thing, I got a mobile phone in 2011, after nearly a year without it. After a while, I learnt there were new models, and new apps and the inclusion of 3G and now I am a mobile-keen-user.


I use it for everything: to make phone calls, WhatsApp, teaching apps, grading apps, ppt creation apps and many more tools that I have come across during recent years.


I must say I now love having a mobile because of its functionality and the freedom it gives me, because I do no longer need to be behind the desk to do all of the tasks my profession requires. I also love it because it helps me be updated on everything I need to update on, and furthermore, because I might have lots to do, and even though I am very forgetful, with my phone, I can always be aware and keep track of everything.


Without it, life would be rather the same, perhaps, with the difference that I would be forced to spend less time behind the mobile, but at the same time, forced to spend longer hours behind the desk. If I did not have it, I would be even busier, not being able to work on the run. That's why I now love and use my mobile very much!
