Thirty years ago no one was buying smartphones from a major brand. No one was buying any smartphones at all.
But 30 years ago there were also no government services or major companies who require you to interact with them using an app on a major smartphone platform.
Nothing has changed, there are no government services or major companies who require you to interact with them using an app on a major smartphone platform.
There are many that do require SMS or a phone number of some sort at this point.
We are mostly saved by the part of the 70+ crowd who is completely computer illiterate and own significant investment resources. But that will only last 10-20 more years.
I doubt that. The world is a vast place with many governments and there are lots of major companies.
Require, maybe not?
But it's a comparatively huge pain in the ass to use a lot of government services where I live without a smartphone.
