Life before smartphone essay writing
Answers
Explanation:
My childhood was completely separate from the constant intrusion of cell phones. What I remember best is the freedom. The gaggle of girls (five of us) who lived on our circle drive would get together and play. We held seances underwater, camped out in the backyard, built a town for barbies in a spare room, put on plays for the grownups to watch. We were free.

From the time we walked out of our houses until we heard our mothers calling for us to come inside to eat or sleep. Our attention was on each other and whatever we decided to do. Also, middle school for us, while it included awareness of the opposite sex, was still a ground closely linked to childhood. The eleven-year-olds now are consumed with the opposite sex, dating, cruel ratings of each other on instagram, etc. Their world is the world of sixteen-year-olds. Selfies and Facebook have made many people forget to be themselves because they’ve learned to be all about creating the right perception.
Don’t get me wrong. I adore my iphone. I was in line for the iPhone One and have had an iphone ever since. I love that I get to communicate daily with my eighty-six-year-old Great Aunt Jessie. Instead of talking to her once a month, we talk multiple times a day. I do consciously set my iphone aside for hours a day now. I try to give full attention to moments. I insiston recreating freedom for part of each day. I worry about what things will be like when children, who have grown up too fast learning to revenge share and worship how many likes they have, grow up. They said over a century ago that the invention of the telephone would drastically change and damage the human element of togetherness and interaction. It didn’t. The telephone merely changed human interaction...but, then again, people didn’t carry phones around with them. They had to consciously use them. That’s the crux of the matter.
We’re so busy sharing our life moments nowadays that we sometimes forget to pay attention and actually LIVE the moments.
