i understand your argument and the distinction it makes, but unfortunately i think in a societal context, that ship has sailed. the people chose to carry smartphones with them all the time, everywhere. that decision was given up without a fight, in fact it was welcomed as the best thing that has happened in the technology revolution to date. not only has the developed world already made this decision, the developing world continues to make this decision on a day to day basis, and their choice is clear; devices on everyone, everywhere.
