My Own Technology Habits

Habits Can Be Hard To Break

It’s a known fact that almost every teenage loves some form of technology. For me, that happens to be my phone and my iPod. For one whole day I observed myself and my technology habits and recorded them. In one full day, I couldn’t even tell you how many times I looked at my phone. Whether it is to check the time or reply to a text message, my phone was always by my side. Throughout the day I was constantly checking my email and instagram so I could stay in the loop of what my friends were doing or not doing. I’d say that overall I am not obsessed with technology. I refrain from using any type of technology while at the dinner table or talking to my parents. There has to be some sort of limit on when and how much technology a person uses. Another thing I noticed about my use of technology throughout the day way that I was constantly checking my phone, even when I knew what time it was or when I didn’t have a text. Maybe it’s become a natural habit. I know it’s a habit I need to break and believe me, I’m working on it.  Not all people are like me though.  Some are glued to their phones 24/7. If our society doesn’t get a grip on what is really important in life, like going outside for a walk, or talking to a friend in person rather than by text, then I am afraid that they will eventually lose sight of reality.
