How dependent are you on your smartphone?

We are all culpable of being attached to our phones. In severe cases, some smartphone users could die from cellular withdrawal. If you were stranded without your phone, here are 10 things you would possibly accomplish unsuccessfully. Would you be able to complete the following without a smartphone?

1. Wake up in the morning

In many cases, our cellular devices are our alarm clocks. We depend on setting wakeup times allotted to each day of the week so we can get where we need to go. No alarm in the morning = ZZZZZZ

2. Check the date and review today’s schedule

Unless you have a stellar memory, how will you be reminded that you have an important meeting at 1PM, or that tonight is your friend’s birthday shindig?  

3. Check the weather

Okay fine, you can always glance outside the window or step out into the morning air to check the current climate. But if there’s a flash flood warning in effect for later that afternoon, and in the morning it’s totally sunny, you’re in trouble if you were not aware this was occurring.

4. Entertain yourself in times of boredom

 Cue the cell phones to pass the time through the uncomfortable silence.

5. Check spelling

Smartphone users have a love/hate relationship with spellcheck. But it can actually be useful. Spelling would become a rigorous task for some people if they didn’t have an instant way of checking a the spelling of a word they were unsure of.

6. Remember phone numbers

At least you’ve memorized 911 and your own home number just in case.

7. Take selfies

Taking souvenirs of the day through selfies is very near and dear to the hearts of many smartphone owners. Also, unless you walk around with a pocket mirror, how will you check to see if there’s something caught in your teeth while on the go?

8. Look up directions

 
We would be lost without GPS systems, very lost I tell you.

9. Check your e-mail on the road

No smartphone to receive e-mails means that when you sit down to a regular computer, your inbox would be always flooding over.

10. heck social media every five seconds for updates

We all need a social media detox from time to time…
