Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be Week 169, Edition 03 of our Weekly Featured Content.
Made With Canva
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun we did not want it to end. We are currently on the third topic for this week, which is “A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “WITHOUT A PHONE”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community telling us about how they could fare if they tried to go for a while without their phones. Seeing how reliant everyone has come to be on their phones, it will be an uphill task for people to be willing to part with their phones for an extended period of time.
We got to see the different reactions to this. There are those who believe they can go for hours without their phones, while others think they might not make it. Of course, there are various reasons for this, especially for those who work and earn with their phones. However, what remains is the fact that our phones are now an integral part of us all. It was an enlightening topic, indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w169e2 tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below.
TECHNOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE AND ALIENATION by 
This author told us that he couldn’t recall the last time he went for a day without his phone, showing how long ago it has been. However, while he can’t imagine being disconnected from the rest of the world, he believes he can go more than a day without his cell phone. So, even when he’s involved in other areas of his life, he would endeavour to stay connected. No matter what.
LIFE WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE AND OTHER DEVICES… by 
For this author, she told us that she can actually go for a long time without her phone. She has gone for over six months without a phone before, and thanks to her PC, she didn’t really need one during that period. But then, when it comes to being without her PC, that’s a different story altogether.
PHONE DEPENDENCY 
For this author, she told us that she can go for an hour or two without her phone, especially when she wants to spend quality time with her family. With self-discipline, she has learned to have control over the phone instead of having it the other way. And so far, it’s been working for her.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (
@melinda010100) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions listed below:
