If you only have a non-smartphone, everybody can keep in touch you when you are not at school or at work. If you have a laptop you can still check emails, social media, and live-tweet events etc. (2)....................................., because you will not need to read or answer e-mails while walking home or waiting in a line in a shop. A new life with a non-smartphone will also teach you to be more prepared and alert in everyday life. For example, you will need to interact with people on the street more while looking for a place or even take notes of the address you need to find. In addition to that, you will finally get a chance to get bored and maybe create new ideas, because life with a nonsmartphone will let you feel the empty moments of life.
