Recently, I experienced the total break down of my cell phone. Yes, after taking an important call, which required more important telephone calls, I was no longer able to use my cell phone. TOTAL BLACKNESS! This phone would not power up after turning it off or even after removing and reinstalling the battery. I wanted to cry. All my contacts were in there, personal and professional. Notes....those little reminders, of which I knew I wouldn't remember, were listed in my cell phone. Yikes, while on the go that day, I couldn't even read my email. I felt like I was out of touch with the entire world. I couldn't even call my mother on her cell, whom of which is just as or even more busy than I am, because I don't remember her cell number. I quickly began to think that maybe I shouldn't have put so much dependence on this piece of technology.
Is the old fashion way of writing things down obsolete? Does anyone keep a phone book anymore? I'd bet you don't even keep a check book register because you can sign onto your online account and monitor your activities and review your balances.
What would you do if you could not use your cell phone or computer for 1 day? What if technology shut down for 24 hours? No Facebook! No Twitter! No online News Updates! No Email! Would you be ready for them to wrap you up in the white jacket? Well I was totally ready for them to wrap me up and place me in the padded room.
My phone was fixed by a representative at my network provider. I was not aware a hard reset could solve that problem. Awesome I thought. But I lost everything, no contact, no notes, no old emails. But my phone is working...yippee! But my brain is blank....I have to recapture everything, or will I ever be able to? I should have written it all down.
