I think in sone places for example Singapore, Japan etc where most people are more with phones its really required.
I needed my bank card for example in Singapore to use the MRT but the App makes it so much easier.
Or moving from A to B with Grab, uber, etc.
And without a phone you look normal in those places cause almost 95% staring at a screen. You got nothing to do, no one to talk to cause all on phone.
At first you think you are superior, dont rely on ohone and you arebt addicted like they are. But after that thought pops up 20 times in the same train ride you notice its just an illusion and not worth the energy to pretend you arent one of them. If I had a phone Id def watch shows or read news during public Transport.
Its like reading news paper 20 years ago.
Nothing bad about phones. Its really just people using them 24/7, for example during dinner with family or friends. Go to a Restaurant. People have phones next to their plates and grab them every 10 seconds.
It might be cause they got nothing in common with the ppl at the table but why go eat out together then if all your phone contacts are better?
One day I will take a book with me to a table if someone uses phone. Ill double down being a better Person. For not using phone and for reading.
But the real thing is: why should they pay attention to you? You are competing against an algorithm that knows everyone better than you do and ever could.
The question is: do the people want to fight that or just go with it? Its Hard to quit phone though with how Apps are designed. Just one more Clip, just one more message.
I swear in Singapore people walking while watching phone. They were able to dodge etc.
Not required but makes life easier.
