    I think more people will be able to do it than folks think. I have faith in you, Admiral Patrick!

    I haven’t personally tried it, but I think the main thing smartphones offer is a way to get away from repetitive boredom of some activities, like riding in the subway or taking the bus.

    There’s still alternatives. You can bring a book or a Kindle and read a book.

    I think we all got way too used to entertainment being a finger-flick away, but there’s still entertainment to be had without a smartphone.

    I’d like to see a resurgence of media-focused devices like iPods that are built for streaming music and TV and not much else, instead of it all crammed into one device.
