I really don't know what's my favorite piece of technology. I use them a lot during the day. My cellphone, the computer and tablet are some of them. I have strange feelings about it, because sometimes i think that they are stealing my freedom; they're keeping me chain to internet and social networks. But they also save me a lot of time. Anyway, if i have to choose one, I may say that my cellphone is my favorite one.
Is embarrassing to me to say that, in the past, I used to hate the relation that people had created with cellphones. I've always laughted seeing people everywhere, and every day, fixed to the screens. But I have to admit that now I'm one of them, since two years ago. My father gave it to me for christmas, in 2014. Since that moment, I use it everytime, all day and night. Everytime I'm awake I see the screen to check if something new has appeared; a message, an e-mail or social networks notifications. As I said, i've many fellings about it, the same as bad as good. But some of the good reasons are that I save a lot of time searching information, reading, communicating with people, taking photos, listening to music, seeing videos, playing games, and all the oportunnities that I get by using this object. Even when I refuse to interact with someone (in real life) I use my cellphone (not in a bad way, I do it because i'm shy).
I like to think how would be life if cellphones does not exist. Obviously, we have some idea. Cellphones are really new. Even five years ago, having a cellphone was different than having one now. I mean that not everybody has mobile internet, or an access to wifi, so the use of the object was different. I think that as the time is passing, the use of cellphone is becoming universal, necessary, almost obligatory. Maybe, many things that are happening now would be different without cellphones, in many ways. I think the most important thing that would be different is the type of communication. Now, information travels easier, faster and in a global way; and cellphone has a great role in that. In the basic function, cellphones provide to society a fascinating thing: an opportunity to call others, to send messages, at the instant. That's important because it may translate in a social organization that can be very usefull. In other words, a life without cellphones would be (maybe) the same as before: wich means that would be as good as bad.
