This Is What It’s Like To Not Own A Smartphone In 2018
I didn't own a smartphone until 2014, when with work it became more essential to check emails for work. With my dumb phone, I would have to walk down to the library if I wanted to read an email. I guess I could use the minimal web browser in my dumb phone, but for most bigger things I had to go to the library. But by 2014, with StraightTalk you could get a Smartphone for under $45 a month if you bought time in 3 or 6 month blocks, and the phones were cheap, so I switched on over to a Smartphone. Not having an Internet at home (much less in the wilderness), having a smartphone really is a nice thing.
