What do you mostly use your phone for?
Messaging, listening to music and checking the news. I also use language-learning apps for about twenty minutes every day.

Many do. It is easy to lose track of time on social media, which can affect sleep and concentration, so I try to set limits for myself.
What technology could you not live without?
My laptop. I use it for coursework, research and creative projects, and it connects me with the rest of the world.

Some are, but many find it confusing at first. In my family, I often help my grandparents video call relatives, and they are learning quickly.
