INTRODUCTION

Mobile phones are known to have a major impact to people's lives. It has many functions that's not just for calling and texting. People take photos, videos, scroll the web, play games, go through social media and a whole lot more. This makes it easier for us to do things everyday. But what happens when we're banned from using our mobile phones for two weeks or more? How many of us can survive without it? The purpose of this report is to understand the importance of mobile phones and what people use it for, based on the findings derived from the methodology. The report will be sectioned into methodology, findings and conclusions.

METHODOLOGY

The methodology used to collect data is through an interview. I've asked the participants to submit a video via WhatsApp and Telegram. I included an opening statement in both platforms as well as the three questions for the participants to answers on video. From friends to former classmates to their family members, I managed to get seven people who will participate in the interview.

FINDINGS

The majority of the participants who did the interview were female aged 20 and above, with the minority being male aged 70 and above. The reason why is due to my large network with female participants.

For the first question, many have agreed that mobile phones are important for them as they use it for their everyday lives. While they mention communication with family and friends as the main reason, they also included entertainment, information. storing important documents and reading. One participant commented on having a mobile phone as an alarm clock to be punctual and using the example of Bru Health for how everything is convenient and digitalized.

The second question of whether they can live without mobile phones has different results. The majority of the participants couldn't live without their mobile phones due to responsibilities, priorities and convenience of having one. As for the participants who can live without it, their reasons are that the mobile phones are not a necessity and they have no commitment to it. Unless they use it to find information and keeping in touch with friends and immediate families. 

As for the third question of surviving without a mobile phone for two weeks or more, the results are quite the opposite to the previous question. Many have answered that they can survive because it is good for their mental health and it keeps them productive. They also mention that they will do other activities such as meditating, gardening, watching television and reading books. As well, they weight out the pros and the cons of mobile phones and chose the former because of how much they need it now. One participant mentioned about the possibility of not having a mobile phone for two weeks and more but would feel worried as well. Another participant stated that life is more than a mobile phone and social media.

CONCLUSION

The findings produced interesting results as many of the participants shared similar answers, but with their interpretation of how they answered the questions. They noticed the importance of mobile phones because it helps them to communicate with others as well as it becoming a source of entertainment, documentation and finding information. Despite of how they can't live without their mobile phones due to their responsibilities and prorities, the participants can survive without it for two weeks where they can participate in other activities. They also feel that it prioritizes their mental health and they feel more productive doing hobbies sich as reading, meditating, watching television and more.
