     In fact, I' m an example of this, but it always amazes me how people can spend so much time on their phones.

     For example, I recently visited London and traveled on the subway while I was there.  2.  Being underground it is difficult to get any signal (信号) and people couldn't use the Internet. They were playing games, reading articles or listening to music on their phones.  3. 

     Recently, my smart phone broke and I had it repaired. So I had to use a really old phone.  4.  And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn' t mind not getting updates (更新) on what my friends were doing. It allowed me to enjoy my time in London more and I could watch the people around me and really see what was going on.

       5.  Perhaps I should just continue to use the old phone and forget I ever got my smart phone back...
