Mobile phones are really important for most people nowadays. Even if you don’t really like them, you have to admit that they can help a lot in different situations in our daily routine. When I was a kid, I didn’t have a mobile phone, because my parents thought it was dangerous. I only used my parents’ phones to play games sometimes, always with supervision. When I turned thirteen, I got my own phone as a birthday present and now I can’t live without my phone!

Smartphones have a lot of practical features. When I got my phone, I started playing games, watching videos, using social media, and getting in touch with my friends. My school friends and I have a group chat where we can text, send audio and share memes and videos. All that is so easy to use. Because of the pandemic, I learned to do so many new things on my phone I didn’t know before! I started to use it for productivity too, not just for fun. During the pandemic, the schools had to use cell phones so that we could study from home. I attended online school classes by video conference, had access to the files with lessons and activities, e-mailed teachers when I had questions, answered tests, and sent school papers. Everything on the mobile phone! I learned to use different apps for editing texts, slide presentations, pictures, and videos. I learned how to log in to different educational platforms, to use cloud storage and to do research. When schools opened again, those technological resources continued to be part of school routine.

To be honest, phones are also a big problem for me and my friends, because they are a distraction. My average screen time is 6 hours a day, a lot of time, I know! The truth is it’s really hard to stay away from it. There are rules for phone use, you can’t use it when you are driving or in some places, such as work, classrooms, movie theaters, etc. But it’s common to see people breaking the rules, because they just can't stop using the phone. It’s an addiction! So lately, I started to reduce my screen time. I really need to avoid distractions, so that I can focus on my studies and can use my free time for other things rather than spending all day glued to my phone. (Kelly, 16)
