  • You can absolutely live a perfectly fine and good life without a smartphone

    Your personal anecdotes aside, myself and many others literally cannot . Modern society expects you to own one, including organizations like banks, healthcare, and, possibly most importantly, employers. It’s literally mandatory to participate in much of society.

    Similarly, my local city has nothing representing public transportation or safe routes for walking or cycling. In addition, in areas where many of the jobs are, housing is obscenely-priced, and completely unaffordable for “normal” people, so living close to work isn’t an option either.

    No job is going to require you to watch YouTube news.
