1. What was the speaker’s project/idea?
- The speaker's idea or initiative is what she branded Bored and Brilliant. This project
is about utilizing a phone and going about daily life. The goal of this project is to use
phones less frequently. It will educate you how to manage your time between using
your phone and doing things at home, especially if you have children and a family.
She helped us realize that we shouldn't spend all our time on social media on our
phones. Because we won't accomplish anything, when using a phone and unsure of
what to do, the speaker advised browsing for helpful apps. If this doesn't satisfy you,
she added, stop using the phone and start gazing out the window and think of a
certain activity that can help you to be productive. 

2. How did the speaker come up with the idea?

- She developed that concept because of having encountered a similar issue herself.
She claimed that in June 2007, her son and iPhone were born three weeks apart. She
ran into that kind of issue when trying to figure out how to juggle being a mom and
using the phone at the same time. To manage her time while using her phone and
being a mom, she had an insight, which is how she came up with the idea. She also
remarked that she could now work as a journalist and a mother simultaneously.

3. Was her project informative? List down all the information you learned from her TED
talk.
- Yes, I learned, and I get a lot of information if her TED talk about using phones.
 Managing time to use phone in a day.
 Coping up on how many times we will check phones.
 Learning how to manage to be productive and checking phone sometimes.
 Being a multitasker.

4. How frequently do you use your phone? Can you see yourself doing the speaker’s
challenge? Why?
- I'll be the first to admit that I use my phone a lot. It's almost as if I'm not used to not
having access to my phone all day; it all depends on how busy I am or how
productive I am overall. Being a student who needs technology to complete her
homework, etc., I would say that I use my phone for about half of the day. Maybe
that's why I don't think I could complete the speaker's challenge. I used to spend a
lot of time using phones instead of other things because today's generation is also
different, and I feel linked to everything I do thanks to technology. I don't think I'll
 take on the challenge because it's difficult for me to not keep my phone in my hand.
But as I say if I’m productive that day I think I can hold not to use my phone.  
5. What are the possible implications of multitasking? Do we finish more, or do we
complete fewer tasks than focusing on one (1) task at a time?
- I frequently use the phone. I frequently multitask while doing other things, such as
cleaning the house or eating while on the phone with a family member. It's possible
that I prefer to focus on one task before moving on to another when multitasking
because you can't complete one task right away. However, there are times when I
am capable of doing numerous tasks but would much rather finish one before
beginning another.
6. According to the search engineer at Google, why is the technology built to trigger
social media users an itchy feeling if they are not with their phones?
- It is maybe not unexpected that individuals fear being without their phones because
they now rely on them for so many crucial functions. People who are without their
phones may feel cut off from crucial facets of their lives, such as friends, family,
work, finances, and information. When they forget their phone, many people say
that they become concerned. This feeling has been labeled "nomophobia" to explain
it. Researchers have discovered that characteristics like interpersonal sensitivity and
obsession-compulsion are associated with nomophobia.
