Antigone uses her phone a lot during her day and declares that if for any reason someone took it away from her she would be upset and feel anxious. She didn’t know the existence of apps that measure the use of the phone during the day but says that if she measured it, it would be a lot.
Antigone also uses a smart watch as a gadget that is compatible with her phone in order to track down several activities in her day such as sleeping and fitness activities. She prefers her mobile over any other device such as her laptop as it is more easy to use in most cases and more portable.
She enjoys sharing stuff digitally with her friends such as funny pictures and videos. When she is with her friends in real life she tries not to use it that much and the only activities she does with her phone is replying to a message or answering to a phone call that might occur.
Regarding the use of her mobile she does shop online and has downloaded apps from stores that she frequently uses. Antigone has also used Airbnb and says that she’s not afraid of online purchases. Her only hesitation is the accuracy and if what she sees online is responding to what it looks like in real life.
Although a fan of photography and taking pictures being one of her hobbies, Antigone isn’t very fond of photo editing apps. She mostly uses the Instagram filters and photo editing options the application offers. She trusts her mobile phone’s camera and that is why she chooses to have a phone with a nice camera. Antigone follows some influencers,
«not because they really influence me, mostly I follow them because most of the times they upload nice pictures»
