質問
Do you think you spend too much time online?
モデル回答
I'm afraid I do. My screen-time report says over four hours a day, which is frankly embarrassing. Technology is a double-edged sword for me — my job depends on it, but I catch myself mindlessly scrolling through social media when I should be sleeping. I've started turning off notifications after ten, and it helps.
質問
How has your phone changed your daily life?
モデル回答
Almost beyond recognition, I'd say. Ten years ago I carried a map, a music player and a camera; now it's all in one device. The flip side is that I rely so heavily on it that leaving it at home feels like losing a limb — which probably says something worrying about modern life.
