Replace the word “phone” with “car” and see if this article still makes sense.
Sorry, but what is considered “essential” is subject to change. History has seen these shifts in every generation, and clinging to the previous generation’s notions of what is considered essential is just romanticism.

It's never going to be sustainable, and it wastes resources, and many people don't like driving, especially in heavy traffic. Moreover, it is fundamentally unsustainable financially. Cars should continue to exist the same way phones and computers should, but not everyone should _have to_ own or use them _all_ the time. https://www.strongtowns.org/ https://www.strongtowns.org/
