OBJECTIVE

Experience how dependent we are on our mobile phones.

TIME EXPECTED

Activity to be carried out from home.

DEVELOPMENT

Students will check the level of dependence on mobile phones, either in themselves, if they have a mobile phone, or in other family members who do: parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, etc. The aim is to carry out an experiment of a day without a mobile phone, in order to compare the experience afterwards, trying to bring to light the limitations that have been found and also the virtues of living without this device, as well as the alternatives used to replace the functions of the mobile phone.

We propose you to spend 24 hours without a mobile phone or Internet, do you think you can do it? Test yourself and then comment on your experience. You won't be able to use your mobile or other people's mobiles for any of the activities you carry out during the day, not even as an alarm clock: a difficult task? Yes, but not impossible.

It would be ideal if the teacher could also carry out the experiment of living a day without a mobile phone and discuss the experience with the pupils.
