Apparently parents love it as it keeps the kids quiet and relieves them of the stress of parenting.

Before modern smartphones existed, I dreamed that they would one day exist and we could use computers and the Internet whereever we are, not just from home/work/school.

There are bad things about them too, but overall I would not want to do without them.

Add in ruined music to that. Shitty speakers, super lossy codecs to preserve cellular bandwidth, even shittier Bluetooth compression, listening to music on a phone is convenient but it sounds like shit. And we've got generations of people who think that's what music is supposed to sound like.

People either have forgotten or didn't live in the time before smart phones, but the world was fucking boring as, you HAD to talk to someone because you were so fucking bored, that's why we discovered shit, we were bored and had to do something, then turtle neck man gave us smartphones.

What do you mean "is there anything good about smartphones at all"? It made a ton of money for Apple and its shareholders, that's the only thing that matters. Who cares that it caused anxiety in a whole generation and ruined social life?

Unironically this. I wish I had just paid in dollars instead of my data. Looking back, it was too good to be true. It's hard to deny we never should've let it get this engrained in our lives.

Ruined these things for you maybe. I still enjoy them. And don't use my phone for most. One of the things I live about the phone is being able to communicate with my friends and family I want. I also enjoy having the majority of the worlds information available to me. Ooooo and music. Soooo much music at my fingertips.

Take away anon's phone for a day and see how he likes it.

Pocket porn!

Damn good summary. Even more BS than I complain about on a weekly basis.
