Okay I'll go...
I probably use my phone mostly for navigation, translation (Japanese be hard), and checklists. Other than that, it's mostly just my wife and I pinging each other about where we're at and when we'll be home. Ah, it does also have my transit card attached to it so I use it for trains and busses.
I do like having it, but I could definitely live without it. Then again, I also grew up without cellhpones and mostly pre-internet (we had BBS and things like Compuserve followed by AOL), as a former gen-x (gen-x used to go until 1982, but they moved it back to 1980 for round numbers, I guess).
Lol, stop empowering children who meltdown over the smallest inconvenience.
I can't wait to hear this used in a professional setting. I'm probably going to be talked at about my response.
As someone with an absurdly bad sense of direction, I would be unable to go anywhere without the GPS in my phone.
I just don’t get lost anymore. Ever.
I would absolutely panic if I was outside my house and didn’t have my phone.
Shouldn't it be nomophophobia?
Notmyphonebia!
