[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 904666, member: 88686"] I don't agree. Living in a big new city, I couldn't orient myself if my life depended on it. Having a smartphone that has maps, allows you to call someone immediately, take photos and videos, and allows you to pay for stuff has been essential. It's absolutely an essential device when you live in a 21st century city. Rural area? Even more so if you have no idea where to find something and how to get around. Never have to carry a physical map, never have to carry a heavy camera, never have to use a gross payphone and having to carry coins so you can use it in the first place AND a phonebook so you know who you want to call in the first place! I have so many secure documents stored on my device that have saved me a trip back home just to pick them up. I don;t have to go home to check my emails or even mail (there are services that scan in your letters for you if you want to). I can check if the business I am about to buy something from has a good reputation. Smartphones have made fastpaced life more manageable, more secure, and less annoying. Now this is coming to Android 11 and the next iOS: [/QUOTE]
