In Julianne's post, she asks if we think we would be able to get through a couple days or a week without our cellphones and being connected 24/7. As much as I would like to say that I could, I am completely dependent on my phone every single day to get things done. Ever since I got a smart phone, I feel like I am constantly able to get in touch with anyone I need to, it's almost like a security blanket. There are those days when I sometimes forget my phone at home when I'm out, and it feels so weird when I don't have it.
Being so dependent on technology and my cell phone is definitely not a good thing. If there were ever an emergency and I needed to know someone's number off the top of my head, I wouldn't be able to do it. Ten years ago, everyone was so much better with remembering numbers by heart, and also with directions. I find myself feeling safer when I have my phone when I drive places, because I know I have the Maps App to help me if I get lost.
Does anyone else besides me feel like our generation is getting worse and worse with directions due to our dependency on GPS devices? What other apps help us get through our daily activities?
