Saved by the Phone





Technology plays a major part in my daily life. Some people believe technology to be 'negative' and 'harmful to forming normal relationships'. Personally, however, I find technology to be a very positive and important tool in my life. There is no 'one big reason' I think that technology is beneficial, but rather several instances in which technology has made my life less painful, and overall positive. For example, one day this last Summer me and my mom were driving to Washington D.C for a little vacation. My mom got lost somewhere on the road and so we had to pull over to look for directions. While she was pulling out her map and freaking out, I pulled out my iPhone and got on a GPS app. This app showed us our exact location, and I was able to type in Washington D.C and the phone would give me directions. In less than 2 minutes my mom and I were on the road and back on track for Washington D.C, all because of my smart phone. Countless other times I have been in the grocery store with my mom while I lost track of her. I was able to send her a text message and we were reunited in minutes.
