Oh, definitely. Communication these days is everything, isn't it? Communicating with people at work or in your personal life is so important. Without a phone, I wouldn't be able to do the things that I need to do each day.Would you ever choose to go without a phone?
I tried when I went on holiday for two weeks, but I freaked out after a week and couldn't handle it any more.

Obviously, yes, phones make it easier to find people.Alright. Do you think the world would break down without mobile phones?
It's possible, but my personal world wouldn't change too much. I do think people are too reliant on their phones and it would be nice to have a normal conversation without someone staring at their phone. They help to create social links through apps like Facebook or Whatsapp, but it's a whole different way of communicating.That it is.

Yes. It's the first thing I look at in the morning because of emails and the last thing I look at at night, which is pretty awful.Do you think it's made us a bit lazy?
Having everything on tap, yeah.What would you do with all of your free time if you weren't attached to a phone?
I would get to do much more meaningful things – crafts and creative pursuits, that kind of thing.Sounds like you need to throw your phone away, mate.

The downside of mobiles is the texting. I'm always getting upset with people in my office because I want them to just pick up the phone or have real meetings, but they try and do everything via email and things get lost in translation. You can't beat a phone call and you certainly can't beat face to face.Do you think phones have made real conversations worse?
In many respects, yes. You'll see people out at the pub or a restaurant looking at their phone or Facebook and it's a bit like, "Are you talking to me or someone else?" But then I do it myself; I'm always checking to see if anything is going on.

Do you think it would be a good or bad thing if we weren’t so reliant on our mobiles?
I think it was good when mobiles weren’t around because things were slower and you took your time to do things properly, meaning communication was more meaningful. But there's also something good about getting things done quickly.Previously - What Do You Think Is Fake and What Would You Replace it With?
