- Terr_ 7mo agoWhat I mean is that there are different needs and constraints on different users. Some homeless folks need a smartphone more than, say, retirees. It also affects what would normally be considered "inferior goods" in economics. If someone is camp-in-the-bushes homeless, they can't really "save money" by having an old laptop instead. Being able to carry it with you is more of a requirement than a convenience.
