Abstract
This is a technology essay about not using my cell phone for twenty four hours and recording my behavior during the time period. I am documenting how my life would different without out the use of my chosen device. I also talk about how I try to substitute and occupy my new found time with other activities. My essay shows just how much the people of my generation depends on technology. It shows that the phone kind of controls us instead of s controlling the phone. The essay also gives some background information on the device I have chosen to give up for twenty four hours. The details about the phone is a selling pitch for the producer and it shows why the consumers want it so much.

It also comes with an 8 megapixels rear camera and a 1.9 megapixels front camera. The design work the phone started in late 2010 under the supervisions of Chang Dong-Hoon, Samsung’s Vice President and Head of the Design group of Samsung Electronics. Being that the price of the phone fluctuates, especially when you are buying it from a private vendor, you really can’t put an exact price on it.
My phone means the world to me. I mean my whole life is pretty much on there. There is pictures, apps, notes, and even bank statements that I us on a day to day basis. With that being said, it is kind of obvious that going 24 hours without it would be a torture like mechanism for me. Within the first 10 minutes I was finding myself wanting to check it. My question to myself was, “What else does life consist of if I do not have my phone?” That question really stuck with me and had me thinking more than usual.
Life could consist of so much more than
