I decided to observe myself one day to see how much I use technology. From the moment I woke up I was already looking at my phone to see if I got any messages and to check my Facebook. Even while getting ready for school I checked my phone. I checked it right before I got into the shower and I went to check it right when I got out. While walking to my morning class I was on my phone the whole time checking my Facebook and Instagram. I even had my phone in my hand as I was walking into class. I didn't even bother to put my phone back into my pocket I just set it on my desk in front of me that way I could easily access it. The teacher was a little late in starting the lecture so while I was waiting I was looking at my phone the whole time. Once she started the lecture I put my phone down but not even two minutes into the lecture I was looking at my phone checking Instagram. Within 20 minutes of the lecture I had looked at my phone five times. There was even a time when I was looking at my phone for more than a couple of minutes because I was reading an article online. My professor even caught me looking at my phone and told me to pay attention. After class I went back to my dorm and while walking back I was looking at my phone the whole time. I set my phone down to take a nap and right when I woke up I looked at my phone. It was time for my next class and as I was walking there I was looking at my phone the whole time. We were doing a lab during class but I was still looking at my phone every couple of minutes. My professor even caught me looking at my phone and she told me to pay attention. This was the second time getting caught with my phone in one day. I realized that I use phone a lot and that it is distracting me during class. In my case technology is harmful.
