In the world today, over 1 billion (1.000.000.000) people own a smartphone, and over 80% of then say that the never switch it off. We use smartphones for everthing , from making phone calls to being personal fitness trainers, and with over 9,000,000 apps available, it seems that there isn’t too much that they can do.

Isabella, 17, student, Madrid, Spain.

If I didn’t have my phone for a week, I wouldn’t be able to live. It is too important to be without. That’s what I thought. When I feel like chatting to my friends, I’ll use my phone. I even broke up with my last boyfriend using my phone. Without it I wouldn’t be able to join in with everything that’s happening. But this week I actually enjoyed not having it. I could concentrate better, I wasn’t too worried about what everyone was saying or doing and I spent more time actually talking to my friends.

I’m on my smartphone all day. If I couldn’t use it for a week, I wouldn’t be able to take care of my business. It would be a disaster. But it wasn’t. I worked more affectively when I was in the office. I had more time to think about everything and in the evenings I was a lot more relaxed. I realized that I could put off making decisions until I was in the office. It’s really changed how I work and I think the business is actually doing better now.

I tried it for a day. But it was too difficult. I couldn’t take any photos of cool people on the streets or quickly add something to my blog when I was out at a party. I just wasn’t doing enough. It was horrible.
