    Kid who doesn’t remember a time without a phone, using a “dumb” phone is impossible despite a want for it. So many things are qr based or require a phone at my college. I learned this the hard way when my phone broke and I didn’t replace it for 2 weeks. Couldn’t even access my accounts cause of 2fa.

    I would love to use a “dumb” phone for text only but the most random shit will require a “smart” feature.

      As an EV owner, I can’t charge at half the places near me without my phone.

      For sure not having a smartphone mean also living without the comfort and the easy access. Try to achieve something that seems impossible without tech I think is the mean cure of the lack of skills you mean before.

        No I mean it’s actually not possible to do some of the stuff I needed for school. The only way to access financial aid is joining a queue from online. While at the the office. Nobody is in it to ask.

        Similarly I couldn’t access my accounts on campus since I did not have the app that’s on my phone.
