 The impact of the cell phone in my life
(PRESENT TIME)

First, I will say that I was not born with a cell phone at my fingertips.
While it is true, I was born in 2002, and I am part of the so-called
Generation Z, but not all my life I have depended on a cell phone or the
virtual world. Thanks to my age, I have enjoyed several things that if I
had been born in these times I would not have known such as: having
played Kiwi in the neighborhood, how to play Tutti Frutti when I was
bored with my cousins or how to manage to have my mp3 or mp4 to
listen to music and so I would continue with many more things, but
anyway.

How much has the cell phone impacted my life since I started using it?
Well, I think it has had a big impact on my life. As a child I did not
depend on this device, what is more, I would say that many times my
parents have punished me during high school by taking it off for a long
time and I have been calm; but the truth is that now I would go crazy if I
was uncommunicated, I am doing practically everything from my cell
phone since the quarantine; and I can safely blame the pandemic,
which in my case made me more dependent on this device, since we
had to learn everything to do it virtually.

I have been studying at the university since 2021, so at first everything

was virtual; so I have been learning to do everything digitally and from
there this made it easier for me how it made several things worse in my
life.
