I think everyone can admit that technology has essentially taken over our lives, and we are now ruled by our phones. And it's not just the younger generation; it's all of us, whether we like to admit it or not. But for all the good that technology does, one thing it can't do is express real human emotion, however much it may try. And autocomplete certainly does try. I'm sure we can all count on two hands the number of times autocorrect has f*cked us over in a text conversation? Twitter user @NihachuEatsCats put this to the test and Tweeted, "type "I'm sorry for being" and let your keyboard finish it for you." The results, were of course, bizarre.

If you haven't checked your screen time report lately, don't! It will only depress you.

The deep endless pit of videos really sucks you in. Here are some funny tweets about people's screen time reports during quarantine and we certainly relate to them.

Our screen time reports are shockingly high nowadays, which isn't surprising given how much time we're spending on our phones.

From Exhausted Netflix to washing up Whatsapp, check out how we're really feeling according to these apps.

We've all got that person saved on our phone, who's name elicits an eye roll and a groan whenever they pop up on our screen. Wouldn't it be great if you could just delete their number and never have to see their name again? The people of Twitter have been using the trending hashtag #DeleteTheirPhoneNumberIf to explain exactly what annoys them about certain people saved on their phone. They are (almost) all relatable, you'll be relieved to know you're not alone in having frustrating friends or family.
