I despise smartphones (and related), but they're really incredible hardware and software, I SHOULD like them, a lot. Imagine being a nerd in the 90s and getting access to this tiny computer running on 3 volts of battery power that's 10x more powerful than your desktop. Holy crap.
I'm even somewhat resentful of modern games, I feel like they should be... more fun? More often then not I just kind of throw something old in an emulator and play that. My comment might have come across as the opposite but I think it can be interpreted either way.
"I should be enjoying this stuff, why does it suck so bad now?" Is probably the vibe we're trying to get at here.
I consider myself a minimalisr so I should love smart phones. I carry more stuff with to avoid using them
