I’m about to go replace my mobile phone battery. During this time, I may be without a phone. I am wondering: Can I live without my phone? I use my phone for so many things. But it also has many negative side effects, such as neck pain and shoulder aches. It’s also a great timeContinue reading “Can I live without my mobile phone?”
