Agreed. Smartphones are portable, mobile computers that suck at every single aspect of being, and working as, a computer, except for mobility. They are not powerful, they are not general purpose, they are not ergonimic, they do not respect user freedom or privacy. Use such a mobile device only when you can't avoid it (i.e., when you are on the road -- when mobility is the single most important priority), and at no other time.
Smartphones are pure consumption machines, in this regard they are more Cocaine than Caffeine. They brought pleasure at an extreme cost. Their worst crime, imo, os the destruction of human relationships brought about by "social" media.
