Phone Diary: Justin L

This assignment brought to my attention how much we use our cell phones everyday. Technology is becoming a vital part of people’s lives today and the most usage comes from social interactions that serve no real purpose, such as Snapchat, Tumblr, or Vine. Additionally, people take using cell phones for granted, that “automatic reach” for your phone when you’re bored…

Matthew Z Cell Phone Log

Opening Statement My experience with this assignment can be described as tedious.  Throughout the 48 hours in which I conducted this experiment I was forced to constantly interrupt the flow of my day to complete a log of my phone use.  During this time, I was under a lot of stress due to multiple exams which is why the results…

DG’s Phone Interactivity Assignment

Recording how I used my phone in a 48 hour period with a pen and paper provided me with an unusual insight to the relationship I have with my phone. It was difficult to remember to write down everything that I was doing on my phone in the moment in the notebook. I actually used my phone’s notepad to write…

  Having to write down every time I used my phone caused me to use my phone less than I normally would. Over the 48-hour period, I used my phone 23 times. This totaled to 141 minutes, or two and a half hours.   I did not check my phone every five minutes, as I normally would have, but only…

Phone Diary: Libby M

My initial feelings for this assignment were excitement for an interesting activity, but also a bit nervous to see how much I actually use my phone over 48 hours. I usually notice when I am using my phone excessively but this would make it real with actual hours and minutes of my time written down as phone use. It was a…

Phone Diary: Lauren F

Going into this assignment I knew that it would open my eyes to my phone usage and just how much I use it. It especially showed me how I interrupt my life to go on my phone. I spent 17 hours and 40 minutes on my phone and had 36 inter-activities over 48 hours. Eleven hours and forty minutes of that…

Phone Diary Activity

After hearing that I would have to write down every time I used my phone over a 48 hour period, I’m going to be honest, I was a little scared because everyone tells me I’m addicted to my phone. Then I got to thinking and thought this could be a great way to not be so addicted to my phone…
