You're not obliged to hug a smartphone if you can. I have a smartphone, but I don't use it often. I use it for important services, like navigation, bank apps. I can read a book if I don't have nothing better to do. I can check out my messages once or twice a day if I feel like that, or I can leave my phone somewhere for a weekdays and forget about it existence if there are better things to do.
IMO smartphone is a simple solution. Smartphone is an internet-connected computer. It's as simple as it gets. Phone calls, SMS are complex beasts with archaic protocols nobody heard about, without any reliability guarantees.
- marttt 5y agoI guess you're right in many ways. These days smartphones are everywhere, they're common technology, something akin to a TV set. There's nothing special about them any more, maybe even for small children? Thus they're also easier and easier to use just like a tool; something that you simply forget about when you don't need it. Got me thinking. Thanks for your reply.
