I had band practice until 4:30 after school. I went to the band hall, put my cellphone on the music stand, and put my clarinet together. Practice was normal, and when it was over, I got a ride home with my friend. I walked through my front door, reached in my pocket, and realized something very important was missing.
Over 225,000,000 cellphones are used in the United States. Smart phones are nifty devices that can be extremely helpful are extremely dangerous. Most adults keep a banking app on their phone which contains their account information. This is helpful if someone steals your wallet, but deadly if someone steals your phone. Luckily, the good people at Apple have a solution this: the "Find My iPhone" app.
The find "Find My iPhone" app can wipe your phone of all data, lock it remotely, play a sound, send a message to the finder of your missing iPhone, and even show you where your phone is. This app can be used on any other Apple device, so if your device goes missing, you can borrow a friends to find it.
I am glad I have the app because if I didn't, my phone may have been lost forever. When I arrived home after school, my phone was not where I thought it was. I called my friend to ask if it was in his car; he didn't see it. I went back to school and scoured the band hall; it wasn't there. Then I used the "Find My iPhone" app and saw that it was on Fifth Street and Grand Lake Street.
My mom and I rushed to the listed location. We knocked on doors and searched lawns, remaining unsuccessful. Our next move was to go to the police station.
Arriving at the police station, I called my friend one more time and played a sound through the "Find My iPhone" app. It was in his car.
Technology is one of the most useful tools, but losing my cellphone made me realized that I am too attached to it.
