If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

Yes, the option to just throw it in the corner and not charge it anymore.
Or to uninstall all your shitty apps.
Take away anon's phone for a day and see how he likes it.
Well this is the cold hotdog water of hot takes. Ill guess anon wasn't alive before smart phones.
Damn good summary. Even more BS than I complain about on a weekly basis.

ITT awful fucking reasons for "smartphone good". Fuck smartphones.
Yep. Ignore your downvotes. They're just zoomers with Stockholm syndrome.
A standalone camera would be a better camera. A standalone media player would be a better media player. Emulation handhelds are better gaming systems.
Paper-weights don't even have batteries. Checkmate, phones.
Phones are useless for anything but making sure you're abiding by your state-mandated privatized surveillance of choice and if I could carry around a tiny Linux laptop with cellular integration and use it instead, I probably would.
I get not everyone can use Linux, but I feel that's a misunderstood problem in that, it isn't my problem that you can't do something.

How does everyone everywhere having a really decent camera ruin photography? One of the things we had to do in photography class was use a disposable to take well composed shots (but also we developed the film ourselves). A phone camera would make those look way better.

"Smartphones. This Christmas, take a short break from using a device to masturbate and use it to talk to your extended family." Yea that's not something I considered would happen with tech when I was younger.
