Phones as our hard-drives and technological faccades

Our phones are almost like our hard drives. They have on them everything about us and we continue to add more with every picture Facebook post, note and message. Are they also however an embodiment of the person who we want to be. Its easy to give off the illusion that you are happy with standardised happy emoji's or pictures of you smiling for a social networking site. Its impossible to tell how the person is really feeling over the void which is cyberspace. Texting, posting selfies etc can be a tool for the user to present the perfect version of themselves for everyone to see. Is this socialising at all or is it merely acting out an idealist representation should the film show more the grappling of the man's happiness in contrast to his online precedes. Maybe a scene could be added where the man is looking at the pictures of himself on his phone smiling at him but then cuts to his saddened teary eyed face. Is this depression a platform to base his disillusionment of seeing an imaginary girl in front of him as real who's telling him to escape this torte of fake and ironic online presentations of wellbeing. Is a substitute for his sidekick, partner a phone this imaginary girl who only exists in the realm of dreams and illusion because her real existence is too much of an absurdity in this society.
