With or without iPhone?

So you and your family are going on a holiday. You will need to bring your cell phone, so you can call and text people, you will also have to bring your photo camera so that you can take some photos of your trip, you might want to bring your video camera as well so you can film your memories. Maybe you bring your laptop, so you can check your e-mail and the news. Your oldest kid needs to bring his mp3 player, so he can listen to music while the youngest wants his Nintendo game. Or, you could just bring the smartphone!

How can all those things including many more features be in that tiny little box. As long as you have internet access, you can call, text, check your Facebook, your e-mail, the weather, the map, the stocks, blogs, and even your bank. You can also use it to take photos, videos and also edit them. Right there, on that little thing. 

Although your smartphone has all those features, you still might want to bring your camera to get better photos or videos, but still - the smartphone makes it easier in way. After I got my iPhone, I stopped taking my camera with me. I regret that now. I have all my photos in albums on my computer, filed under folders from 2001 to 2011. November 2011, it stopped because I got my iPhone and stopped taking my camera with me. 

I have friends who do not have a smart phone or any other smart device, and are managing just fine without it. I like to think I would to, but I have always been in to new communication technologies, and find it very interesting. But I am also the one who loves it when the power goes out, and you sit there in the dark, with candles and no technologies - playing board games. But that does not happen often, and if it does, last very shortly

I use the new communication technologies to communicate with my friends and family. I use my Iphone, Facebook, Viber, Skype, e-mail. I often also communicate in different games applications on my iPhone such as Wordfued and Draw Something. It is addictive I think. So would I be able to live without it? 

- Of course I would, but I chose not to.
