“I’ve got my things, I’m good to go… You met me at the terminal… Just one more plane ride and it’s done…” Jack’s Mannequin – “Bruised”
Hello, my name is Bree and I'm an over packer |
I found out that I will essentially not be able to use my phone unless I’m on Wi-Fi. I can make emergency calls/texts (at an increased rate, of course), but I won’t be able to use any apps unless I’ve got Wi-Fi access. It appears this will be a bit of a technology detox for me. I fully admit that I am constantly on my phone. I check twitter multiple times a day, most of my emails are composed on my phone, and any chatting or texting is also done on it. At first, I was kind of P.O.ed about this, but as I’ve thought more about it, not being able to check on all of these “connections” whenever I feel the need (okay fine, the compulsion) will be a good thing. It will force me to look up from my phone and actually take in the world around me, and considering the sites I’ll be visiting, this is a VERY good thing. The only real piece of technology I will have to worry about is my camera, which is the lens I should be looking through, not deciding which Instagram filter is best.
