I have a smart phone, however 1.) it’s very outdated and slow, 2.) I don’t have any apps installed except the ones it came with, most of which I don’t use, ever, because it’s so slow (only google maps and occasional internet lookup) . I don’t even like texting people unless it’s important, the phone is primarily a phone for me.
I’ve been thinking recently about how my grandparents (who grew up in rural Europe in the 20’s with no electricity) used to complain about us watching TV all the time as kids, and how I basically had the jones for TV back then, I needed to watch every night. Then at college I didnt have access to a TV every night, and I was fine. Now I might occasionally watch, but mostly I have other stuff to do. I see people watching TV shows on their smartphones on the subway all the time, while I read books (not to brag about how intellectual I am, it’s just nicer to read than look at that tiny screen.)
