The Apple Without The Worm (130 words min)
For some time I had been quite disconnected from all society, I had already spent 6 months without a mobile.
Back then I had started working for a telecommunications company and I had to be on the phone mostly all day long, and that's why I decided, in the end, to get rid of the #cell-phone".
Time went by and some day I had an urgency, I had to hand in a very, very importan document, but with the rush, I left it over my desk at home, and the only way to get it was to call my friend and ask him to drop by and bring it along.
Having thought so, I rushed out the underground to get a pay-phone but guess what, ALL of them were not working, and after several tries, and a big anguish, I managed to contact my friend and get my papers...but it was already a bit late, and the only way I could get in touch was by borrowing a co-worker's mobile!
After that I got a mobile phone, in the 2011, after nearly a year without it. After a while I learnt there were new models, and new apps and the inclusion of 3G, I finally changed to iphone!!!... I use it for everything: to make a call, a free-call, to use wasap, teaching apps, grading apps, ppt creation and many more tools that I have come accross with.
I love my new mobile because of its functionality and the freedom it gives me, because I do not longer need to be behind the desk to do all of the tasks my profession requires. I also love it because it helps me being updated on everything I need updating on, and furthermore, because I might have lots to do, and even though I am very forgetful, with my iphone, I can always be aware of it all!.
Without it, life would be rather the same, perhaps, with the difference that I would be forced to spend less time behind the mobile, but at the same time, forced to spend longer hours behind the desk. If I did not have it, I would be even busier, not being able to work on the run. That's why I now love and use my mobile.

Wow Teacher, I think that you did was very difficult in that time. I literally can't go anywhere without my phone, i feel lost and I miss it, well, that's a little crazy haha, but is true, cell phone has become a need in these days.
ResponderBorrarSee you in class!
Same as you, I love my cell phone, because with it I can do whatever I want in terms of what my profession requires like calling my interviewed, investigate the news or record interviews, everything to be a good newshound in the future.
ResponderBorrarAnd I really admire your capacity to be without a phone in that long time, I never be able to endure 6 months without a phone.
Greetings!
I admire the man's potential to make life easier, but for me, today's technology turns people into zombies brainless.
ResponderBorrarHi Jordan, how are you?
ResponderBorrarDefinetly that the new smartphones have changed everything. The life in the work, university and home. You could use to different things. For example, today you using for speak with somebody Who is in anywhere of the world, any continent, etc. My smartphone served to play, to call, problems of ubication, social networks and the most important, I'm informed.
six months without a mobile? I couldn't do that. I'm from Rancagua, since last years I have been living here in Santiago. It's hard for me to get at some places, so my Iphone help me a lot with the GPS! seriuosly, I couldn't survive without him. Santiago is bigger than Rancagua, so everything is more complicated.
ResponderBorrarDefinitely the phone it’s very important. During the two first years of university, I had phone without applications like whatsApp, and all was very complicated. Sometimes I had problems of communication with the interviews. Recently I buy the new phone and many things are easier.
ResponderBorrarSee you in class!
Hi teacher! I really understand you! The life with cell-phone it`s most easy, because we can be connecting every day. Although, sometimes that dependence it`s not good and why I admire your ability to live one without cell-phone. I would not make it!
ResponderBorrarwow! I admire you, I can barely live one day without my phone and you take a break from him for six months. This days is so dificult to take a break from tecnology we are so conected all day long that we almost forgot how to talk to a real person. Some times we have to turn of the phone and disconect!
