2010's? Dude, I'm still in the 80's. I'm not some GenZ tiktok child who can't be with a screen for 10 seconds and thinks everything needs to be gamified. This dependency on phones is stupid. So I refuse to participate. The more people that do so, the less this BS takes over life. We're responsible for the world we live in.
- bigbacaloa 4y agoWhere I live in Europe the phone is used to charge transport cards, to pay at stores, to interact with banks and government, etc. Because of two factor authentication it's basically a necessity to have one for banking and certain government transactions (some of which can only be done online). I could carry around a laptop for work and business but it's far more convenient to use a smaller device.
- sbf501 4y agoFor a month I traveled from Seville to Munich in 2019 and didn't need my phone at all. I bought food, tickets, took transit, etc. What I did NOT do was open a bank account. So do these banks issue you a phone if you don't have one? Does the government have a law that requires citizens to own a phone? What brand? What capabilities. There are online-only banks in the US that are only accessed through a phone, but they are not the ONLY banks. I think you are confusing a world that CAN be accessed vs. a world that MUST be accessed via phone.
