I bought my first smartphone a couple of months ago - always preferred small cheap dumb phones. They did fine for calling and texting, which was all I wanted.
But the world changed on me! I noticed that over time people were sending me longer and longer texts, and it was becoming difficult to communicate with thumb-button texting.
If things reverted to how they should be (anything over 5 words should be an email or a call, please) I would happily go back to a dumb phone.
- mrweasel 8y agoIt's not only the communication part of it. Increasingly there's a tendency towards an "app first" thinking, where the primary thinking is that something could just be a app on our phones. How this thing is suppose to work for people without smartphone is an afterthought. I do have a smartphone, but I strongly dislike the "Just download our app"... are you really sure you need an app?
