Forgive me if this is an overly-simplistic question – I'm a student, so there is a lot I don't know and this seems to be a complex topic, but I ask this in good faith: if the people that are members of the union are happy with it,

I agree with you, but to play devils advocate: beyond the physicality of the device (whether it’s uncomfortable or ugly), how does this change the relationship between you and your information in a way that phones and smartwatches don’t? If
