What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
It has to be my phone. I often wonder how I managed before the mobile phone became available.
I’ve actually had one since 1989/90. A rather large Nokia which only made phone calls. However in my job as a housing officer I travelled the length and breadth of Northern Ireland so I invested in a phone. It was expensive but it was very reassuring to have it during long trips to isolated areas, especially during the troubles.
Nowadays it is like my right arm, and I never go out without it. While waiting for appointments I can scroll through the news, play Words with Friends and check the number of steps I’m doing during a walk. I never have cash and pay everything with my phone, so no need to carry anything else when I go out.
Should I fall there is an alert to my family and I can alert emergency services.
Traffic alerts are also helpful as is checking the weather. So all in all my most important item to carry with me all the time is my iPhone.
