I think it mostly depends on your habits and daily routines, of course dumbphone is changing a lot, but also freeing you from many useless activities.
Oh come on, are you doing this again? Ask for a list of things that people want to use a smartphone for, then dismiss them all outright as useless trivialities?
Should I ask you for a permission the next time I feel I have to do this again?
I'll put it this way. You have twice asked the same question, then people spend a fair bit of time answering your question. You then dismiss them in a one sentence reply that doesn't even address their comment. It's inconsiderate to ask a question like that if you don't actually care about the answer.
Your rage covers the eyes. Where you have seen in this thread me asking such a question? The only question I asked was related to a location where people can or cannot live without a smartphone ;)
So you wanted people to not explain themselves?
I have never asked about this it's up to everyone. The only answer I got is USA is a wrong place for people with dumbphones. I was pretty surprised honestly.
Do you like to bully people like that? :)
If you want another location, China's cities. Almost all transactions are done via mobile payment systems.
You've had two people independently think that you wanted a "why". If you don't care about the "why" component (which seems the case), then maybe clarify the question so people don't waste half an hour on a post you'll mostly ignore?
Just accept the reality, you have misread the question. Please don't waste our time for this discussion. Just let it go.
PS China is a good point.
