@darkphotonstudio Depends on how you look at it.

Handhelds* are something humankind was dreaming about. You can see countless references to these things not even just in sci-fi but in old fairytales. And no, for certain purposes they do not suck. They are excellent communicators. They literally land the knowledge of the world in your palm. They can take pictures and videos which has countless purposes. They can hold immense amount of data even offline like having rather detailed maps of the most known areas of the planet and they can navigate you around it.

It is a shame what we let corporations do with our dream though - this is true. Maybe this is what we should focus on instead of trying to dismiss something countless people dreamed of and find necessary part of their life now.

*- it is not just smartphones obviously.
