Smart Phones Are Not Smart
We are being conned by big electronics.
Smartphones are not smart. They are dumb. All they are, are portable phones with various applications built-in, most of which we do not need. There is nothing smart about them at all. They have to be programmed to provide the services to us that we use them for. The actual definition of smart is: “having or showing a quick-witted intelligence”.
Have you ever heard of a smartphone having actual intelligence? Or creating something? Like a piece of music or some software? No. As I said, they are dumb. And we humans have been suckered into lugging these demanding little pieces of electronic junk around with us as they hog our attention twenty-four seven.
I remember when I bought my first mobile phone. It was the size of a brick and all it did was allow me to make phone calls. I thought this was great. It did not demand my attention, had no apps, and could not be hacked. The great plus to this phone was it freed up time from the office. It allowed me just to make and receive phone calls from anywhere there was coverage which back then, was not great.
