This is so true. I lost my iphone three hours ago and I just keep getting harder.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

True, but look at it the opposite way - modern life is just getting easier and easier because of mobile phones. Think of all the things that they make easier and replace. When we finally get digital licenses later this year I can officially leave my wallet behind. The only time I'll need it is when I go to the gym as unfortunately they don't have their NFC cards available via phone.
It is basically impossible in this day and age. Similar with credit cards. I have been using a LightPhone for 2 years and before that a Cosmos 3 flip phone for 5 years. Currently 7 years off smartphones and I’ll never go back, but I don’t see how a young person can do it right now. Just doesn’t seem possible and i hate that.
Welcome to 2010.
Yep, the one time I decided to go out without my smartphone it got me stranded in the middle of nowhere without way to contacting anyone until 4 AM.
Yeah... I commented to my friend "and a smartphone is a basic human right, right?" When talking about this. Well, internet is not, either so yeah, your existence is extra gimped or based on touching ground base if you're homeless, phoneless and internet planless.

I like them for being able to text and make calls. Otherwise I hate using them - a desktop computer is far easier for me.
