What is your first gadget you use once you wake up?

Heatman6190

I practically sleep with my android phone device, sometimes I press it and chat, surf the Internet until I fall asleep while it's still in my hands. There has been some midnights that I wake and continue with where I stop before falling asleep. This has been my normal routine and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

So therefore, when I practically sleep with my phone in hand, then you can be surely guaranteed that it's the first thing I say good morning to once I open my fluffy eyes.

Hi Heatman6190. You have given an ingratiating response in that you have stated the very same practice that I myself indulge in, as well as millions (if not at least 1 billion) of other people all over the globe. Waking up with one's cell phone by way of the alarm clock almost makes certain that he or she will have that be used as their very first gadget of the day. Too, it is very pleasing of you to note that as gadgets, cell phones may be around for years, if not centuries to come. Very thoughtful.

It's actually how such happens, even when one knows he or she is very tired, instead of to drop the phone and nap off comfortably, he will be forcing it until sleep takes over with the phone still in hand. (LOL).

That is great to hear and i see what kind of people you are. It is a good idea on putting or using things in a productive way. Before sleeping and waking up i do regular check on my phone to get updated on everyday activities in life. When i wake up during holidays or non business days, i use my cellphone for entertainment purposes. Cellphone is just an all in one device where in you can find everything.

It might be just a bit sad, but I must admit that I also sleep with my electronic devices. I have fallen asleep on top of them. I have knocked them off of the bed and damaged, them. I put them beside the bed on the table or on the floor. I have stepped on them, but all of this to make sure I stay connected and working. Something must be wrong with me right?

I think majority of us are guilty of even just one of the things that you have mentioned. I guess the people of the modern era have made their gadgets or smart phones a significant part of their day to day lives, whether it may have a positive or negative effect. This only means that if something is wrong with you because of all those things you've mentioned, then I guess something is wrong with the majority of the people in the word.

The first thing I check after waking up is my android phone. Most of the stuffs I am scheduled to do for the day are organized in my android phone. It also became my habit to check my e-mails and notification first thing in the morning. Simply put that my android phone is my personal assistant.

Well, I wouldn't just call it being too dependent on the Android phone but I will simply call it addiction to the poor phone which suffers for us by being our slaves (LOL).

I do have alarm set up in my phone for the hours of 1:00am, 3:00am and 5:00am. Between all these 3 different intervals I normally wake up to check for something online and as such I practically wake up by the alarm and go straight for my Phone.

I sleep with my mobile device besides me and that is the first gadget that I operate each time I wake up from sleep. I've developed that special connection with my mobile device that, in some cases, if I wake up and fail to see it beside me, I must search the whole room to see it and check the various websites for news and other things.

Lucky for you that you have insurance on your phone. Over here, phone insurance is the last thing an average Nigerian would be less worried about. If the phone gets damaged beyond repair, we normally dump it and buy a new one.

I have Redmi 4A and one 4G Router. I am accessing the internet using those two devices. I have found out that gadgets do keep me connected with the rest of the world. I check social media and emails this way. It can be distracting to wake up with. But it does seem like a good system for those who want to connect with internet. I like my gadgets and wish to keep them for longer time. So on that point it'd be reasonable as well.

This is absolutely what we all normally do as phone addicts. The moment you wake up, the first thing that rushes up your mind is "where is my phone"? Without thinking about any other things, the phones are most times our first priority.

The truth of the matter is that it's a common thing with all phone users to always pick up their phones first once they wake up and go through their social media accounts.

I'm so guilty. I sleep and wake up with my android. I just have to use it like that and I can't stop. It is bad enough that sometimes I have to force myself to say my obligatory morning prayers before I touch it.

I'm absolutely guilty of not praying before touching my phone. I've tried to control it but all to no avail. The only way I have control over this, is if I off my phone while I sleep. But I find really difficult to off my phone.

If you are a freelancer, it's basically the first thing that you do once you wake up. In order to keep up with the various websites, blogs and forum you work on, it's always the phones first once you wake up.

Desktop PC and 60 inch flat screen tv are both gadgets. It's not only phones that are referred to as gadgets. Any electronic devices that allows you access to information is a gadget.

It's always the first thing I look at when I pick up my smartphone because I'm terrible for getting up early.. I open my eyes and I'll see if I'm not late (because I put my alarm clock to play at various times What is your first gadget you use once you wake up?

If you wake up and pick up your phone, it's the first thing that you have contact with whether you first looked at your clock first. And to the question you asked about clock being a gadget, yes it's a gadget.

Yes of course, it's definitely going to be Android smart phones and it's all down to one single reason and it's just as a result of the portability of phones to other gadgets.

When 90% of our daily lives revolves around phone usage from the moment that we wake up early in the morning, there is definitely no way that we can be to achieve anything without it. This is just about how much important phones are to our very existence.

This is very good of you. It's not really that easy as you are saying it. I have made efforts to change mine but not successful. The only way I control my addiction and urge to press phone first in the morning is offing the phone outrightly in the night before I sleep.

Well, when you are addicted to your phones and tend to carry out 80% of what you transact in a day using it, then there is no denying you are absolutely and always going to be stuck with it even in your sleeping bed. I take my bath with my phone, go to the rest room while at home to carry out my rest room business with it as well. These shows you how much I'm tied to my phone, it's my mobile home and office.

@DenisP I strongly believe that 96% of the world people are absolutely guilty of this particular act with myself included. How bad mine gets is that I don't even pray at all before greeting my phone and setting up my days routine activities using my phone.

Like mostly of the people here, definitively that would be my smartphone. Usually I wake up due to the alarm on it, so that is the first thing I grab as soon as I open my eyes. Sometimes, on the weekends, I rather turn on the TV. I guess, that's something that I used to do when I was a kid, so I'm still keeping the habit. If I have very busy day, the next gadget will be my laptop, for sure. Whenever I have to solve a lot of errands, I will save some time by going online.

I always do INTERNET surf using tablet, and my android cellphone. When ever I wake up, I clean my entire house then I use my phone, as to avoid boring day. I research a lot of things using this tablet technology, and it will somehow help me to do a lot of project when I was still in high school. I think in today generation, people will rely alot on technology. But, as what I have observed today, we are not most probably interacting one another by this technology, it somehow takes us far when ever we use it, that's why I rarely use, but not necessarily.

I often time find this things waste, because when ever I do serious staff, I tend to ditch it by using this tablet technology I have, in shorty I become spoiled into it. I know I am not alone with these things, so I have a little advice to everyone to minimize of using it, and cherish to interact with others.

My ipad, iphone, and laptop. My to do lists and schedule are all saved there so I have to check all of them in the morning so I could plan the rest of my day. In addition to that, they are kinda like my version of the morning newspapers you read while sipping a cup of coffee. Doing this keeps me updated with what's been going on in the world and with the people around me.

Unfortunately, don't know if it's the right word to use, but I fall in that category. My mobile phone is most definitely the first thing I operate when I wake up and that's because I do a lot of work online. Technology has taken a toll on us over the recent years with most of our engagements done over the internet. Drawing from this, it's only normal that most people use their phones first thing after waking up.

The first gadget that I used when I wake up is probably my smartphone, I guess most people agree that this gadget is wherever we go and for mostly things we do, we always use this device for many things such as chatting or communicating with friends, relatives, schoolmates and so on, watching some videos online such funny videos, cooking, sports, lifestyle, celebrity news, music and so on, playing games, using the internet to search for information and a lot more things. Besides smartphones are everywhere, it makes us all connected with one another that maybe some of us won't live without, and if you don't want to loss something you always look for it right? That's why my smartphone is my first gadget that I used. Well God bless and thank you everyone.

Same thing here. The first thing I use when I open my eyes is my mobile phone. That's basically because I use my mobile phone as my bedside night clock and alarm. So, it's literally the very first thing I see when I open my eyes.

On top of that, my work is basically done on the internet. So, it's important for me to keep in touch with the people I liaise with on the internet. I have an active Facebook account and I also have a blog on Blogger. In fact, the internet has totally replaced the tv and newspapers for me. I have not watched tv for years. Newspapers? What's that?

A week? You're having a laugh@ryyde. Do you know most people me included go to the bathrooms with their phones? I don't think anyone would know what to do without their phone for 30 minutes!

It's brilliant that now you can do anything and everything on your phone. It simplifies everything. You can talk and text, set your alarm, read your email, read the news, watch the news, browse the internet and listen to music all on one device. Imagine if each function had a different device like in the old days we would have an alarm clock, a phone, a computer, a television, a radio and an mp3 player. A total of six devices. This would be expensive and bad for the environment when the devices are worn out and have to be thrown out.

Just like you, the first gadget I use is my phone simply because I want to check what time is it when I wake up. I don't wear a wrist watch at home so I look at my phone in the morning then I leave it. I eat my breakfast first. To answer your question, I think using a gadget isn't so bad at all as long as we use it in moderation. The first thing we should do in the morning is eat breakfast. It should be a habit. No gadgets on the dining table. I go online after eating to talk a bit to people then I do my freelance work. I sometimes do my business too. I sometimes meet my clients or coach people in the morning. Basically, I use gadgets for communication and entertainment during my free time. I use it in moderation. At least this can also help avoid overuse of gadgets, which can prolong its function.

I don't know how you made this observation because people are far apart and you cannot see what gadget each one of them will use. I also check notifications on my phone sometime after I wake up. I think the phone is the first device everyone uses in general.

I check my tablet first thing in the morning just for the time, mostly, but after a few minutes I maybe would try putting on some music or a video to slowly wake me up further. I used to be hesitant checking gadgets first thing in the morning because I felt like I would become too dependent but nowadays I've learned to just allow it because I don't find much reason to fight it anymore. I like having some good music or podcast to get me started for the day.

I always grab my smart phone early in the morning to check messages and emails. I start my day answering those while preparing myself for a 30-minute running session. This also will serve as my Ipod since I usually gather all my songs onto a playlist in my smartphone. It is just an easy access for me to all the things that needs to be first each morning.

Yes bro I am one of those who have fallen to the same system. I always get to check my mobile phone and see if there are important messages or notifications that I missed. Then open my Facebook or twitter for the latest updates. Hate to say this I don't have any intention of stopping it. I find convenient to start the day knowing the things you missed while you are sleeping.

I don't think I'm much different than anyone else here in that the first device I use when I wake up is my cell phone. I sleep with it charging on my nightstand, so it's always within an arm's reach. In fact, my cell phone acts as my alarm clock too, waking me up each morning. This in itself secures itself as the first device I touch since I have to turn the alarm off!

I guess, just like everybody, once I wake up the first thing I lay my hands on is my phone. It's kind of a bad habit because I don't get out of bed, I usually spend 30 more minutes or even an hour in bed with my phone before I finally get out of bed and start my morning routine.

The first thing I grab with me as I wake up early in the morning is my phone. I see to it that I won't miss any message sent to me or missed calls if there are any.
I always check as well my Facebook messages and Facebook group chats for the latest updates with regards to my job.

First of all I look in my smartwatches. Honestly, watches are a very important part of my garderobe. At home and while the walking I wear smartwatches, but when i am on business meeting, I wear simple wrist watches. Think that they look more officially. My favorite watches are japanese rolex clones. If you are not sure for them, i can tell you that all watches ae made from solid 904L stainless steel. All who reads this thread is interested to Buy Replica Rolex Watches.
