I actually disagree -- it's sneakily become a BIG deal to fully participate in society (esp post covid). Here's three real-world examples in a row: Took my partner out on a date downtown last Saturday night. Dinner and a show. Gotta have an app or at the least mobile browser to pay to park. No parking meters or out of order. Gotta have a camera/mobile browser to scan the menu at the restaurant. No more paper menus. Gotta have a phone to show your ticket to get into the theater. No more paper tickets. Just got bounced back and forth between staff when I tried. It's so many little things like this that have crept up -- especially in the last couple years. It's just assumed that everyone has a working charged phone in their pocket at all times now. Sure, can you get by and survive? Of course! But it's gonna be a giant pain in the ass and you're gonna be "that guy" to the people around you. Which again... pretty big sacrifice.
