When I was a young child I was on my computer or playing video games on a TV all day, rarely going outdoors. When I got my first smartphone, it was actually very liberating. Now I could be outside anywhere, and still surf the internet and play any number of games at any time.

My first smartphone (the first iPhone one) gave me the same liberating feeling you describe there, but it didn't take long for me to realize that mobile gaming isn't for me and while I can do most stuff I want on a smartphone, I can do it better and more efficiently on a full-blown desktop/laptop with proper peripherals, so that's where I still end up doing most of it. In recent years my smartphone even feels more of an annoying hassle than an actual asset, except for the occasional use for navigation and regular use as mp3 player.
