If Phones Were Humans...

"Bro! This phone is too hot, it might blow up any time soon. Allow it to charge for some hours na!" My best friend said to me few months ago and I replied "No, not yet, I'm not done with what I'm doing".

The reply I gave him was a kind of silly to him but to me, I don't care. Few minutes what I heard was "Poor phone" followed by a forceful laughter. .. I continued until the phone, still charging, went down to 0% and immediately went off. I forcefully given rest lol.

The way we use the phone these days due to the activities we can do on it, can make these devices to cry out of slavery and frustration. This contest by @bossj23 is a good one and here is my participation.....

A Murderer!

That's who I would have been if my phones were humans. I am supposed to charged to court for murder and receive judgement. My phones wouldn't have been anywhere near being alive as humans.
My phones wouldn't have been alive because of the following;

• I always use my phone while charging it whether it is power current from electricity or solar system.

• When there's no light, I allow my phones to reach 0% before I feel fulfilled and satisfied. In most cases, I turn it on again to see 5% and uses it till 0% where the phone can't be powered on again...

• I use my phone till the extent of which the temperature can be able to cook beans. At some point I will peacefully allow it for 5-10 minutes, then the journey continues.

• My accumulation of apps and other things is another reason my phones won't be alive if humans. The space left out of my 64GB storage is only 2GB. The red colour indicating "no space" is shinning bright and I don't even know how it happens....

I'm just more than a murderer....

Apart from Sundays, During the working days and and weekend, my phone works for 18 hours out 24 hours in a day. On Sundays, I usually, go to the church and come back to hang around with my friends and families, so I don't usually use it much that day. I sleep mostly by 2am or above everyday and get to start again during the day, multitasking with my daily activities earning me surprise looks and even threats to smash my phone. But I will soon adjust, don't blame me....

Interestingly enough, when the phones work during these 18 hours my mobile data is always on, the screen is bright, my hands are busy, multitasking is sure (Instagram, Steemit, telegram, discord all at the same time)....

My phone might feel happy, only when I keep it free from usage for a full day or maybe two days. It will be able to recover from unconsciousness and gain strength. It might also feel happy when I stop using it while charging because the negative effect I really bad.

My phone might as well feel sad when I continue doing the things that makes me murderer to my phones. The process is continuous, because the sadness is becoming part of it life. But I know that Soon, I will reduce my usage with time...

Lastly, my phone will always feel frustrated when I expect it to do the needed tasks correctly when it especially in the space of multitasking. Sometimes, I might be using the WhatsApp for chatting and then minimize to use the dialer to call, still chatting and while making call, I'm going direct to my Steemit account to check some stuffs and at that point, it becomes slow and voluntarily exits the application....

To be sincere this my advice is not basically for me at the moment, but to the public on the general best usage of phone for effective functionality....

My only simple advice is to TAKE REGULAR BREAKS. I will always recommend for phone users to limit screen time and focus on other activities and tasks. You can also consider turning off notifications to avoid being interrupted by the net and messages. Do not run the phone on outdated softwares, always try to update them to the recent ones for a higher functionality and keep it running smoothly..

In conclusion, I can clearly see myself as phone murderer if they were human. The way we use these phones often and can definitely push them to the limit. The only way to solve this is to do the direct opposite of what we do that makes them feel sad and frustrated. But for me, I see this brutality ending soon but not sure when and how....

Thanks for reading.
