Are powerful mobile phones packed with Apps and constant notifications so necessary to a full, fun, enjoyable techy life, really?
I am legitimately surprised that more tech-heads didn't see this state-of-affairs (and all the other obvious drawbacks of The World's Most Featureful Spy Device, controlled end-to-end by a giant multinational, becoming ubiquitous in peoples back pockets) as an obvious, absolute given, right from the very start of the whole smartphone trend. Instead we all seem to have bought into it, hook-line-and-sinker.

Didn't see or didn't bite the hand that feeds?
The really scary thing is that, forget what you said, they're starting to become more and more necessary for the bare minimum existence. We're not quite there yet, but it's becoming harder and harder to simply exist without one of these things.
