I have recently switched phones from the HTC One V to the iPhone 5, and I can tell you that I do not stay off my phone. Laptops or desktops, yes, I can handle staying away from. But my phone? No. On Sundays, our youth is not allowed to have our cell phones until we go home, so I considered that being my day challenge with no cell phone and whatever technology I owned. It was hard because I felt the need to check my phone, but I couldn’t. I always knew the ‘411,’ so they call it, or the latest news. The way I see changes through out that day was the fact that I wasn’t keeping track of what was going on around the area. Every time I’m using a computer device/cell phone, etc., I’m always being informed. I mainly use my phone to socialize, and that’s how I get informed. I feel like people who don’t have access to these devices get their information off the street, or from a friend of a friends. I know a bunch of people who don’t have cell phones or don’t have access to these that go out and find newspaper ads, or go in to stores and actually ask them if they’re hiring. Teenagers who don’t have access to these probably do their homework in an environment where they can access devices, such as the school, or even the library. Technology is always going to be around, just because someone doesn’t have access, doesn’t mean they don’t know where to get access.
