They should not make it mandatory for or expect people to have a smartphone.

A few years ago as I was working for a local government, a similar discussion started, but quickly finished after the project owner valiantly displayed her dumbphone.

Only months later did I learn that her husband was investigated for misappropriation of funds, so keeping a minimal digital footprint was important for her.

Moral of the story: everyone has a smartphone.

  • So, if the majority chose to get microchipped, you believe either we should force the minority to get microchipped against their will, or just exclude them from society?
