Let’s take a look at a couple of the apps on an iPhone. Please, please, please, no groaning, moaning, complaining, muttering or tutting over our choice of mobile device. An iPhone it is and that’s that. If your favourite mobile phone is a Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, Lenovo, congratulations, it’s good to know that there’s a smartphone to suit every taste. So let’s not digress. iPhone is the mobile device we shall be using and discussing along with its apps and how they are used when doing any EnvironMENTAL Training™ game, drill or exercise. Note we are not saying that one cannot do EnvironMENTAL Training™ games, drills or exercises without first purchasing iPhone 11 plus. So settle down with whatever mobile device you have at hand and let’s get to work.
First step, recall the named app in your mind, if you’re able to, looking at the shapes and colours that give the app its distinct features or characteristics.
Second step, locate the named app on your device, observe it carefully, paying close attention to the design, colour, shapes, etc.
Third step, put the device away and visualise the app in your mind’s eye, attempting without strain to recreate its look in your mind.
Fourth step, relook at the app before putting your device away again and quickly sketch the app from memory.
We understand that Apple devices come with a number of preinstalled apps, so we’ve tried to ensure that those apps are the ones used for this exercise. However, if for any reason your device does not have a mentioned app – we are aware that many and any number of reasons may result in your iOS device being void of a named app – then so long as there’s sufficient space, the simplest thing is to visit the App Store and download the app. You can always delete any recently downloaded apps when you’ve finished the exercises.
We trust the above helps with your execution of what is a very simple set of exercises if performed in the correct spirit: properly, patiently, calmly, enthusiastically, happily and joyously.

The apps above are just a selection of apps for you to use as an exercise. Depending on the iOS device: whether you’re one of those who is slow to update ior are unable to use the latest iOS (13) because your device is no longer compatible, you may have or may not have a few of the apps. If this is the case use whatever apps you have available, whether they’re found, on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook or iMac.
Regular practice of this apps exercise will endear you to the useful tool you have in your possession. You are now in a position to laugh out loud whenever you hear anyone criticising your iOS and blaming it for society’s ails. You know that far from being a nuisance, it can be excellent tool in the hands of anyone keen to do the above apps exercise.
Now we’re at the end of this post, why put your feet up and with your favourite libation in hand, watch the interesting video How to Use a Telephone: a double documentary from 1927 and 1950. Perhaps after watching you can spend a few minutes, if desired, to imagine how today’s telephone networks have been built to provide a means of global communication for a talk-hungry society all over the world.
