My first smartphone, Asus ZenFone 5, is bought to me by my father. Just like any other kid excited of a new present, I can’t contain my happiness as I received the phone from him. No more unboxing part because he used it already but it didn’t make me feel less excited because I was into the idea of exploring. Not really bad for a first timer, I easily discovered and adapt on my own how to use it. I immediately dive in to test its capacity and savour the perks of first time use of the gadget. I checked out the apps one by one and smiles whenever it is what I need and frown when I need to delete it because it has no use. I edited the settings to match my preferences. I download necessary apps that coincides with my interests; wattpad and animania. From that, it became part of me everyday. I spend most of my time with my phone reading manga and ebooks, playing games, and visiting my social media accounts.
Still, I’m not dominated by the gadgets I have because I control myself not to become a victim of cases of addiction that have emerged. Real interactions are the best after all.
