smartphones are the biggest nonsense that mankind has ever invented, the only good thing about such a thing is that i can run over the idiots who are gawking at it and still say "it's your own fault donkey"

I use my smartphone every day and actually find it quite useful. If someone joins me, I pack it and talk to the person if a conversation arises. When eating, watching a movie, ... it is also always set to silent.

I don't have that big of a problem with it, I think it's probably one of the better inventions. Some apps like Snapchat, ... do bother me because people spend a lot of time keeping up some pointless flames. Overall, though, I'm very positive about it. With age, however, the approval rate decreases noticeably (in general, people become more conservative and less open to new things), so maybe I'll feel the same way in 10-20 years.

I don't have a smartphone and therefore no withdrawal symptoms, but I'm already addicted to the Internet and with a smartphone it would be much worse, then you can't switch off at all. By the way, I have an old Nokia cell phone with a prepaid card

I have not had a smartphone for almost 4 years now But I don't need it either. The "withdrawal" held just ne week at that time

Whatsapp for friends etc I have on my laptop (Bluestacks). Since I can then decide for myself when I'm online and when I'm not available

But have not given that away because of gaming, but just so. Also often discuss with my girlfriend, who really often hangs long on the thing. And actually only senseless stuff clicks through

So I do not understand why you need it Professionally vl. then again times in the future, but privately fix no longer.

Smartphones are mega, you CAN do a lot with it, you MUST but not !
(ok, some must then probably but...with me, however, the sound is 90% off...)
find it a pity that e.g. the banks now stop the SMS Tan procedure, or
i no longer receive SMS for the Packstation, was really handy, now yes only about an
an app possible and for this is then also always a relatively current Android
Version necessary, I find it stupid to always have to buy new smartphones
because otherwise the apps do not run ! but I do not do that

i've been playing for some time with the idea to temporarily buy an ancient nokia 3210 or similar (accessible)

regardless of the gambling, that would also be a good compulsory measure to make the dependence on the whole stuff every day again conscious.

maybe i'm lucky and someone here has actually gathered experience with it?

(please only serious answers)

My smartphone from 2011 was always getting into the net and costing me dozens. Last summer I bought
a Nokia from 2005 for 15€ on Ebay and use it for 1 year now
And what can I say, I feel great with it. No hidden costs, no unnecessary radiation

but

i realize that I am more and more forced to use a smartphone. And that bothers me
Banks like MuchBetter everything goes only via apps, etc. as an example

I think that's not good and in the train everyone just stares at these things, it's really sick

I see it exactly like you. You can't blame the smartphone for excessive use...

Especially professionally it simplifies so much!
Appointments are stored, certain supporting apps or even the navigation system are always there ...I find ne super thing actually

Many do not even know what the smartphones can do everything! Especially with my IPhone it took a while until I really found out all the useful things and used!

Especially the users, who are often IT technicians themselves, IT people, etc. do without smartphones. Just because they know what they can do everything

Can not share this experience. Is your assumption based on personal feelings and experience?
