I never really thought I used my phone for all that much — just a few texts here and there, some email checking, and a little Candy Crush while waiting at the bus stop. But there’s so much more! I’ve only had a smartphone for a little over two years, and I’m amazed at how dependent I’ve become upon it.
Some of the things that I have missed:
- knowing the time (this has really driven me crazy all month!)
- using GoogleMaps to determine where I am
- using GoogleMaps to determine the bus schedule
- texting with far-away friends to stay in touch
- texting with local friends to let them know if I’m running late
- calling to make personal appointments without my coworker overhearing because I’m using my office phone
- setting reminders for myself instead of writing things on my hands / writing sticky notes
- looking up online recipes while grocery shopping to see if I need any additional ingredients
- listening to music
- taking pictures of Jack
- taking pictures of all the cute wild animals seen while walking around my neighborhood
- using RunKeeper to track what distance I’ve run / what my pace is
- taking pictures while on a run
But that will all soon change… tomorrow, my beautiful new phone arrives! And I will soon be able to share more precious moments, like these:
