Mobile phones since it's availability to humans, it has become a very essential part of our lives. We do almost everything with our mobile phones because it can conveniently be carried around, so we take it everywhere and even many times to sleep.
I remember when the only available phones were landline phones, we used to just drop it on the table in our living rooms, mounting around it when expecting a call that day, which sometimes might not even come when we expect it, and rings when we leave the house.
I still remember when my dad was transferred to Abuja while we stayed back in Lagos, I think I was about 10 -12 years old then. We didn't have landline phone at home and needed to be keeping in touch with my dad.
So sometimes mommy will give me money less than a Steem, to call daddy to check up on him and tell him every other member of our family asked me to send their greetings.

Mobile phone and landline their differences
[ ] From using landline back in the day, it made me to know my dad and mom's phone numbers "off heart". As they always retrieved their lines whenever they lost or misplaced it.
[ ] Landline was always left at home, which prevent any possibility of it being misplaced.
[ ] Landline except for kids playing roughly with it or maybe it gets too old or have some electrical defects. It last longer.
[ ] Landline was more of monthly payment. Back then, you will have to locate a Nitel office (Nigerian Telecommunication Limited), to get the bill for the month and make payment.
[ ] Landline you will have to have the contact information of who you want to communicate with else there wouldn't be a communication at all, except you meet on the road.
[ ] Landline was just talk and move on and connect us to very selective information.
[ ] With mobile phone I don't need to cram any number, my phone does that for me.
[ ] My mobile phone have fallen from my hands, from the hands of my kids, have even gotten into food and water. To me always having a broken screen, replacing screens and getting another broken screen faster than a tortoise 😁.
[ ] My mobile phone have been forgotten in many places due to rush and my forgetfulness.
[ ] I love how it cost so little to recharge a mobile phone as little as less than a Steem and can recharge from the comfort of my home.
[ ] With mobile phone I get to make friends with people far and wide, countries I have never visited but know people there. I know some of their dishes and even few words in greetings.
[ ] Mobile phones have become a school, a learning centre where we have vast access to unlimited knowledge so long as we are connected to the internet.
Landline or Mobile phone
Which do I like most? It is my mobile phone of cos. My mobile phone is a companion that is almost always with me. It reminds me of what I need to do, tells me the time and at the same time it opens me to more information around the world and even outside space if I want.
I get to select the content I want, ask for it and read about it and can even choose to listen to it or watch a video about it. Mobile phone is my convenience. It is my flashlight too 🤣
Symbian OS. Or android OS
Back in the day, we had symbian Os phones, their network was slow and it just wasn't as fun as the new android phones. It was like using analog and now we have digital which is android 😁.
Flashlight Phones
Most phones back then didn't have flashlights. When you use phones with flashlight it was considered a substandard and cheap phone, so it users mostly hide their phones or use them at night when going out.
They drop their expensive phones at home keep so they won't be any case of it getting stolen and also use it for illumination when walking pass dark areas.
Today almost all android phones comes with free flashlight as we all need flashlight plus the flashlight is also used to brighten a dark space when taking pictures in low light areas or even at night.
I love my mobile phone it has helped me to stay active on Steemit and make new friends from different countries with different cultures. I see and learn about their food and some of their cultures and even get to greet them. Mobile phone is a good connector, that can give me an instant feedback most times .
