This scenario is a possibility with today’s world. People are too reliant on their phones and tablets. If this scenario would happen, people would be panicking because they wouldn’t be able to snapchat and use other apps on their phones.

There would be moments when I would have spurts of anger because I wouldn’t be able to contact several people. Overall, my reaction would be a mixture of anger, nervousness, fear, and shock. In addition to my reaction to this scenario, my life would also be impacted in some ways like not being able to contact my friends since I don’t have a home phone.

How can a person in this day and age be away from technology? Approximately “90% of American adults have a cell phone” (Mobile Technology) and are constantly using the internet and interacting with people constantly. Before starting this project one word came into my head: Nomophobia - the fear of being away from your mobile device(Duerson, Meena Hart), and because of this experiment I realized that I have it. When I imagined having my phone being taken away I thought it was going to be hard but I NEVER processed the severity of the issue when it was in front of me.

The Communication Accommodation Theory states when people interact they alter their speech to fit in or accommodate for other. CAT describes the psychological, social, and linguistic behaviors that people exhibit when communicating with each other (Coupland, Coupland, Giles, Henwood, 1988). Each individual has his or her own personality and motivation when involved in a conversation, this attribute are reflected in how the individual speaks, listens and then responds to the other person involved in the conversation. According to this theory, communication between two people can at any time be adjusted by either party in response to actual, perceived, or stereotyped expectations of the other person (Coupland, et al., 1988). This means that either party can change their communication style based on what they feel or pick up on during the conversation. The CAT theory can help understand how humans interact with one another while communicating.
In 2008, I began playing travel basketball. The practices were long and my parents usually dropped me off and then came to get me after practice was over. This, however, did not always work because practice might end early, and I would have to search for a phone to use. This forced my parents to reluctantly decide it was time for my first cell phone. For four years, I bought and recharged my minutes until I finally received a smartphone for my fifteenth birthday.

But, it has become increasingly apparent to me that having the internet at my fingertips does not warrant an

The reason I would have to give up my phone because my phone is an electronic. Electronics may draw attention and alert others, and is attention is drawn then we might be in trouble. The hardest part about it would be just living in a room for two years. Not having my phone and not being able to communicate with the outside world would also be very difficult. I can live without my phone because it is not that bad but not knowing what is going around outside in the world would be
Firstly, cell phones are a useful object when needed in an emergency. When parents need to contact their kids, they have access to talk with them on their cell phones.

Since 2008, the smartphone, a device that combines a normal cell phone with a computer, typically offering Internet access, data storage, e-mail capability, etc. all in your hand was deemed as ground-breaking technology and created one of the largest and most competitive markets in terms of technology to date. Their increased popularity continued to grow and today, it is very hard to encounter someone without a smartphone. These devices allow people to disconnect from reality and grant them access to the world as a whole. People use these devices to manage their daily routine, dictating what they should do and when they should do it.
Like the rest of the world, I cannot go a day without my phone. Try leaving your phone at home for a day and let me know how you feel. With the growing technology my phone is like my arms and legs. It is my must- have- can’t live without phone. It is my connection to the outside world. It is my connection to other people’s lives and theirs to connect with mine. The “cell phone” started out as a form of communication via calling and then it exploded with text messaging. Now it seems that most people would prefer texting then calling someone.
