I never realized how much I depended on my phone until the day the battery died.
My phone woke me up, showed me the weather, reminded me about meetings, helped me answer emails, paid for my coffee, and guided me through unfamiliar streets.
I used it for almost everything without thinking about it.
Then, on one of the busiest days of my year, the battery suddenly died.
At first, I thought it would only be a small inconvenience.
I was wrong.
Without my phone, simple tasks became much harder, and I quickly discovered how dependent I had become on a device I usually took for granted.
