Smartphone Profile

I am unsure what kind of smartphone user I am. I use my phone to check the news, stay in contact with people all day every day, I scroll through the internet like it is nothing, I use Tik Tok, I Snapchat people every day, I use instagram every day. I use UNO at night when I am bored and want something to play! It is my favorite game and so fun online! You can play with real life other people and it makes it go by quick and fun! I keep up with what is going on. Don’t even get me started on Twitter. Twitter I use primarily to see the uncensored news. Since Twitter does not censor what goes on in the app, for the most part, so you see what is going on around the world and what the mainstream media shows. They do censor some things however that the government is trying to hide. They try to delete tweets but there’s always room for a screenshot to spread it like wildfire. Tik Tok is the same way, they do not censor unless need be. I have learned many things on this app as well such as news and information that is not shown in the United States. The United States does not want you to see how other people see us, wants us to think that we are the best of the best, and mind controls us way more than you would actually think. Every day, I estimate an average of 4 to 5 hours on my phone. May it be just checking my phone or the screen being on, I use my phone that much a day if not more. I probably pick up my phone around 200 times a day. How I perceive my smartphone usage is the type to pick it up if I am in an uncomfortable situation, I am bored, or I just need something to do. My purpose of using my phone would be to stay in contact with people and see uncensored news so I can continue to wake up and see the world from the outside, in. One day we will be able to, if everyone wakes up and speaks out.
