Well，Elana Mugdan，a New York woman，has been into it for eight months，and just four months away from claiming the grand prize. Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge.Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smart phones，but in the end，the only person who got to try and survived for an entire year without a handheld smart phone was Elana Mugdan，a 29-year-old fiction writer from Queens，New York.Eight months into the challenge，she claims it has been a free and eye-opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smart phone.Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smart phone，she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends，because she really doesnt want to go back to days when she overused it，wasted time，stayed up all hours of the night on it，and was obsessed_with social media. But not having access to her smart phone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before.“Many people did me a favor. However，once，I almost get stranded (被滞留的) in the Sea-Tac Airport because the phone number Id written down was wrong，and I had no way of referring to the right one，no way of calling a cab，and no one in the state who could help me，” the young writer said. Another time，her cars “ check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night.She couldnt use her phones GPS，or even check what the light meant online or find a nearby car repair shop.But she learned to overcome these situations.And now she claims the last eight months of phone-free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that shell keep it for another four months. 【语篇解读
