Life Lessons
So what was the most crucial lesson that Gracie Frederickson could sum up from her father’s near-death incident? Well, the 10-year-old girl learned something we can all take a note on too. It is that we should always keep our cell phone charged. She had made it very clear that her phone having no battery made her realize how important keeping phones charged is during times of emergency.
Life Lessons From Gracie
Since we are living in an age where smartphones and technology rule over our daily life, this is something that may seem very trivial, but truly important to remember. You never know just how important it may be to make a call in a pinch. Gracie was just lucky because she could find another phone, well her dad’s phones, just in time to call an ambulance.
Kids These Days
We know that kids these days are slowly becoming more and more dependent on their digital devices and gadgets. We often criticize them for constantly being on their phones and tablets but this story proves just how important they can be in times of an emergency. If it weren’t for the phone in the other room, imagine the fate of Jeff Frederickson.
A Blessing Or A Curse?
If Gracie was not familiar with using Facetime, she could not have made the call from the iPod and her dad may not have been rescued in time. It goes to show that these devices do have their boon and bane, that we cannot just limit them as distractions or a nuisance. The phone call alone managed to save Jeff’s life so that amounts it to more than just an accessory.
