Without my smartphone, I'm a lot more stupid than I would be otherwise.
"As We Age, Smartphones Don't Make Us Stupid — They're Our Saviors" : http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/001094.html
I wouldn't be able to call up what the square footage of our kitchen is when vendor asks. I wouldn't know the phone number for our CIO. I wouldn't know the best way to get from my house to a friend's house on a Friday afternoon. I wouldn't be able to show what our remodel looks like. I wouldn't be able to confirm what time that meeting is tomorrow. I'd forget that book that someone recommended to me. I wouldn't be able to easily find out my daughter's grades, or my mom's travel itinerary, or my wife's wish list.
(Well, I still can't find that out, but it's not the smartphone's fault.)
Smartphones can be used stupidly, but net-net, I'm better of with one than without one.
It's funny, I had only a dumbphone for the longest time, but now I don't know how I got by without.
I dephoned on retirement
+Brittany Constable For me, it was a whole new world when I first got a Palm PDA (alongside my dumbphone). When I got a Treo that actually allowed connectivity to the Internet, that was just awesome.
I don't know how I lived before I could quick look up actors or movie titles on IMDb when the subject comes up … 🙂
