Like the Light Phone, I really love the idea. But, even as someone who doesn't use social media, my whole life has become reconfigured around my smartphone. Yes there are negatives - the endless distractions - but it's just too convenient to give up a fully-featured smartphone. Just to give some random examples that you can't do on these devices.. - I track all my workouts in my phone. - Don't need recipe books anymore. - Controlling TV/lighting/heating/robot vacuum. - Buying groceries. - Guitar tuner. Metronome. Practicing scales. - Voice recorder (for quickly remembering a cool riff I made up). - Playing a podcast from YouTube while I run because I don't have Spotify. - NFC for payment, transport. - Calendar (which this seems to be lacking) - Paying bills. - Watching my daughter's camera when she naps. - Flashcards for studying. - Dictionary. Foreign language dictionaries. - Sometimes even torrenting. I became really aware of how much we depend on these devices when I had a daughter and we thoughtlessly decreed we'd never use a smartphone around her. That became untenable quite quickly. "Hey wanna take little one for a walk?" "I think it might rain, let me check the radar quickly" I just don't have social media apps installed and that's pretty good for me.
