And once these devices become required for participation in society, is the government going to issue free phones and watches to everyone who can't afford them, or are they going to become yet another burden suffered disproportionately by the poor, just like car ownership?

And 94% of the homeless have cell phones. I would assume that the penetration of cell phones among the poor and not homeless would be higher. https://priceschool.usc.edu/news/homeless-los-angeles-cell-phone-survey/#:~:text=Previous%20research%20from%20Henwood%20suggested,free%20devices%20through%20government%20programs https://priceschool.usc.edu/news/homeless-los-angeles-cell-p....
