Have you ever gotten that feeling that a part of you is missing? and it eats away at you and bothers you for as long as you are without this piece? I have. I get that feeling when i misplace my IPhone. Its the worst feeling in the world. I lose all communications, and happiness with the world outside my own brain. I am obsessed with my phone, and proud of it. The thought of my IPhone ever breaking due to water damage etc. is heart breaking to me and that is why this article caught my eye. This poor young woman lost his phone for a whole night, only to wake up and find it in the drive way with water damage. She writes about how upset she was and how she felt also though she couldn't function with out her phone.
She puts a twist on the article by basically saying at the end of the article that she was lying, that this did happen to her but she really didnt care much. she was not devastated or extremely effected by the tragedy. She wrote this article to prove a point that yes, Phones are very useful and can become addicting but not all teenagers and young adults are obsessed with their phones, leading to the incapability of having a normal face to face conversation with a human being. Phone are necessary in this day and age, but that does not mean that we cant live and function without them. Ha to all the adults out there that thought other wise.
