I think I'm a phone addict. I spend all my free time talking on the phone.

Imagine a No-Phone World

Kenneth Ukah from Nigeria (Gabon)

I think I am a phone addict. I spend all my free time talking on the phone. Whenever I have some free time, I pick up my phone and I start calling whoever that I think is at home. When I finish with people living here, I start calling those in my country and my friends around the world.

I'm trying to break the habit because the phone bill is always enormous and we have problems paying it.

I really do believe that the greatest invention of this millennium is the phone. Of course, people would talk about all the new technology. But look at it very well. Not everybody in the world has access to this technology, but the phone is widely spread; and it makes communication possible from everywhere in the world. When I talk of phones I include cell phones too.

Imagine just a second, a world without phones. What would it be like? It's even hard for me to catch the representation of a "no-phone-world". What could we do without phones? If anyone has the answer I'd like to know.
