Technology has made these strange little devices a part of our identity.
The idea that smartphones have become an extension of the self is not a

applications on your smartphone is a popular one.

mother not stumble across if she needs to borrow your phone. Maybe you
have some private documents that contain sensitive personal information.
Maybe you have apps that aren’t quite ‘child friendly’ enough for you
to feel safe handing over your phone to your nephew so he can play Angry
Birds.
