So...this weekend I lost my phone and was unprepared for the impact
that its absence would have on my life. I was in different state and
away from home, luckily I with family. This could not have come at a
worse time because I was the main contact for my family reunion and
would need to be contacted. I realized that my PDA was my primary
source for internet and social media access. I check my Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, and email accounts via my PDA. Being outside of the
loop, I felt lost and out of touch with the world...my world. I utilize
Facebook and Twitter to stay aware of current events in politics and
events to attend around the city.
This experience
made me aware of the fact that PDA/cell phones and the internet
represent a lifeline to its users. A lifeline that users can not be
separated from for a long period of time.
