This isn't an argument for X or Y. This is why you shouldn't go somewhere you know you'll need to sit in a waiting room, without anything to do. From as early as I can remember, my mom would tell me "Bring a book!"
It worked. I'm more likely to remember to bring a book than my phone.
Besides, what would you do on your smartphone? If I have some specific work that needs doing, I'll bring my laptop, because that's more effective.
- exodust 8y agoThe point is obviously that you already carry a phone everywhere. If you're arguing that we should always carry a book too because our phone is only a phone, then you've lost me. Simply take control of your smartphone and configure it so it doesn't do all those nasty things you don't want it to do.
