That's pointless since you need to recharge your device all the time. It's not progress if you have a lighter that needs gas every 2 minutes to work.

- stavros 3y agoExcept the lighter nowadays is a flamethrower. You can get a lighter that needs gas every month, or a flamethrower that needs gas every two minutes, but complaining that the flamethrower needs much more gas than the lighter is silly.
- rebolek 3y agoThe problem is there are only flamethrowers now and no lighters.
- stavros 3y agoI'm fairly sure you can still boy dumb phones that last a week+ though.
- manicennui 3y agoI think the argument is that we mostly want to accomplish the same sorts of things, but now we have to use a flamethrower.
- stavros 3y agoBut we don't, even the fact that we browse the Web and watch videos would have been impossible on a Nokia 3210.
- manicennui 3y agoWe have been doing all of this since the 90s at least on desktop computers. Smartphones today are far more powerful than desktop computers from that era.
- ztrww 3y ago> doing all of this since the 90s at least on desktop computers it wasn’t a very nice experience. Why would I want to watch anything in 240p win stead of 4k? Same for web, despite the bloat UX on most websites is miles ahead of what was common back in ~2000
