My Daily Routine and Technology
The piece of technology I can’t live without is my smartphone because I use it to study, listen to music and communicate with my family and friends. I watch TV about twice a week, usually at the weekend, because I do not have much free time. My favourite gadget for communicating with friends is also my smartphone. I use a messenger because it is quick and convenient. However, I try to meet my friends in person too. On weekdays, I do my homework before using gadgets. In the evening, I relax and go to bed at ten o’clock.
