I don’t feel comfortable with some of the conveniences of the smartphone. Sure, as a back-up in emergency situations, a lot of that makes sense.

But continuous access to the weather? Or news? Or even conversations?

Like, constant, never-ending, always-on? Doesn’t feel good.

It's times like these that I remember for the vast majority of people their smartphone is the only computer they have and/or want to have in their lives.

@SimonWoods so many of my employees the past few years had only a phone. They needed to use the restaurant office computer to complete onboarding or training that required a computer

@SimonWoods in developing countries, this is a fact. In most European countries and in North America, mobile telephony is an evolution, but in developing countries is a revolution.

@SimonWoods We live across the street from our village's public library. When we first moved here, we noticed people hanging around outside the library for long periods of time at odd hours. Drug dealers? Finally we realized that they were using the library's wifi on their phones.
