My Experience

    When I was 13 years old, I got my first smartphone. I was getting a used one from my dad, but still it was better than the one I had. Before that, I was using a phone that I can only use to call someone or text them. Because of that, even when I got a smartphone, I only used it to call and text. Later, I started to discover what I can do with a smartphone. When I did that, I started to spend more  and more time on it. Luckily, I was able to stop myself from getting addicted to my phone and spend less time on it.
