A great big headline to catch some attention, because everyone likes attention

So you understand the roaring wave of fear that swept through the greatest city in the world just as Monday was dawning--the stream of flight rising swiftly to a torrent, lashing in a foaming tumult round the railway stations, banked up into a horrible struggle about the shipping in the Thames, and hurrying by every available channel northward and eastward. By ten o'clock the police organisation, and by midday even the railway organisations, were losing coherency, losing shape and efficiency, guttering, softening, running at last in that swift liquefaction of the social body.

Phone Diary: Kobina Amissah

  In this day and age, phones are pretty much necessary to communicate with each other, especially among my demographic of college kids. As avid users of social media, we rely on our phone as a resource to connect us to our favorite sites. Whether it’s our favorite gossip blog, photo-sharing network, or swipe-to-hookup app, we stay linked in. It…

Phone Diary: Kelly S.

I think it’s safe to say that the results of recording phone usage within the time span of 48 hours are surprising. What I personally found most surprising was the amount of time I spent on my phone in correlation to how many times I picked up my phone. In total, I had recorded 57 uses of my phone. Within…

Phone Diary: Steve B.

The phone has been such an integral part of my life since I got one in 2007. The relationship that i have with it sometimes seems stronger than with my actual friends and family by the way I cherish the world that it has been immersing me in since I got one. This relationship is so strong that when my…

Phone Diary: Tylar Weber

Number of Times Used: 90 Total Time Used: 6 hours, 54 minutes, 54 seconds Writing a phone log for 48 hours was a pain. The activity made me not even want to look at my phone. All of a sudden, I had strong negative feelings about my phone. I found myself using my laptop instead of my phone. It made…

Phone Diary: Ciani Woods

This assignment to me seemed like it would be a piece of cake because I use my phone often during the course of the day, but I was very wrong. We do not often think about how many times we are actually picking up our phones and getting on social media or just making a simple phone call but we…

Phone too much interactivity- Jake C.

Keeping a diary of my phone interactivity over a forty-eight hour period was far more enlightening and informative of both technology and myself than I had anticipated. Being forced to use a notebook and pen was difficult and I truly never got used to it. This may have been because I was using advanced technology, an I-phone, simultaneously. It was…

Phone Diary: Liz K

Over the course of 48 hours, I recorded in a tiny green notebook every time I used my iPhone. This included for how long I used my phone, what activity on my phone I performed, and what activity I interrupted. Writing everything down was definitely tedious, so much so that at times I made a conscious effort to not pick…

Phone Diary: Allie M

The main thing that I learned from the phone diary activity is how much I rely on my phone. I should start off by saying my diary is definitely inaccurate. This is not because I didn’t try with this assignment, but because I unconsciously check my phone every few minutes. Our generations reliance on our phones is increasing more and…
