I thought I lost my phone before moving states and nearly burst into tears. It has my insurance, the map, what if something happened to me on the road, etc. It was an awful spiraling feeling. Thankfully I found it, but it was a hard reality check of how much I have tied to this little device.
A friend of mine has no smartphone (still an old Nokia mobile) and thus has no access to a train ticket in his state in Germany. There is no way of a non-digital ticket. That’s so f’ed up
Same goes with reading skills, which at some point weren’t needed in society I bet.
Interesting perspective but then I think of the data on this phone as an extension of my privacy/private life; literacy doesn’t track.
Yeah, phones such, literacy doesn’t. But phones could have better software and hardware, then it would be fine.
