You don't know this but recently my mobile number has been down because I was tardy in getting it working again. I was receiving mostly spam calls and my friends were mostly unresponsive. I have always been that random person that someone might call out of the blue.
My mobile number is important to me though because that's the number I have linked to personal accounts.
Anyhow, the issue has now been solved but I thought it would be a good time to write about my usage of phones and how I have always used them to their "end of life". The most recent phone is not end of life, but the screen was shattered to the point that the glass was really starting to cut my fingers with each swipe.
I am tardy to bring it into those bins for refurbishment. I think we have enough mobile devices floating around. After all, I get ignored most of the time.
BTW while my mobile smartphone was out, I started using my tablet. I like the interface set up for the app I use which is minimal so I am going to continue using the tablet. Size matter ;)
My first cell phone was soft pink and was a small flip phone. It was dingdy and cute. I can definitely go back to that phone since I mostly just text and rarely talk.
My second phone was white with a slide out keypad.
My third phone was almost the same as the white but purple.
I finally got my first smartphone when the technology geniuses pushed out budget cheap and affordable smartphones. My HTC wildfire, pretty sure it was first generation, was long lasting. One day I was at a BBQ Meat shop and dropped the phone for the first time ever and it was dead. It wouldn't even turn on. I was very sad. I was unlucky enough to drop it at an angle that managed to break it immediately. Before the drop, it was fine.
Next I got my moto g, also first gen, this one I also loved; however, eventually I kept getting, in my opinion, negative incoming messages. One not so fine day, I was so angry that I threw it to the wall. The screen shattered. I was upset that I shattered the screen of my phone because it functions very well. I continued using this phone until one day I realize it was getting too dangerous as I was touching copper and glass at the same time. I think this phone will work fine again once you replace the screen. Prior to shattering the screen, one day I was using the back of the phone to lightly hammer something. The hammering lead to a crack on the glass of the back camera. I actually grew to love the photos taken by the front and back cameras of this broken phone because the shatted lens automatically became my photograhing style. No one ever asked me why my photos turned out the way they did. And yes, the shatter grew with each poke. It was a touchscreen smartphone after all.
Anyhow, I have boxed up the phone. I am not ready to part with it yet.
