You Boomers remind me of my parents.
Always beotching about those dang computers and cell phones.
Complaining about the interweb.

Meanwhile the VCR on their TV has been flashing 12:00AM since 1985.

My friends parents (super libs) are too afraid to get a smart phone and learn how to use it, knowing full well it would make their lives so much easier. They just dont wanna learn it. Craziest thing.

Smart phones are the real problem, unfortunately there is just no way people will have enough discipline to get rid of them sn masse to make a difference.

The problem isn't smart phones, it's stupid people.

If you smashed every smart phone, they'd jsut find another way to be stupid.

Eugenics.

With smart phones on the roads I don't ever wanna hear someone complain about self-driving cars being unsafe.

If you text while driving you're an idiot.

Its more about transferring every faucet of life into a smart phone so you have no other choice but to buy one if you dont have one. Then they can simply put everything on a phone to monitor everything about your life at all times through various apps.

No one forces you.  You choose.

You could just use a land-line and pay your bills with paper checks in the Snail-Mail.

Just ask my Mom.

Yeah that is literally how my friends parents are, but it wont be like that for much longer, maybe a decade or so.

I think when my kids get to an age where a phone would be useful.. its going to be for text and calling only.  No apps, no youtube garbage..no staring into a screen endlessly...

The "cool" friends might poke some fun when they are young.. but at least mine won't turn into a social media zombie.

Id honestly like to home school them, and focus on useful knowledge, keeping them out of the cesspool of terrible parenting in public schools.  Not really room in the budget at this time though.
