    She is right. I don’t use a smartphone anymore. I now use a dumbphone. It helps me focus and reduce stress. Turns out you don’t need the internet with you 24/7. If someone really needs me, he can call.

      You mean they can leave a voicemail stating their business, right? I’m too anxious to answer random phone calls.

      You could just not have Internet access on your phone… A smart phone is more then just the internet. It’s a camera, a Gameboy, an mp3 player, and other useful tools.

      Feels like giving up all the usefulness just because it has internet access might be the best example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

      This isnt about protecting kids, its about age verifying and de-anonymising everyone. Australia has already gone down this road, dont fall for the trap.
