only 20 years ago I traveled all over, did my banking, bought things I needed, checked the weather, did a lot of running and hiking and biking, spent a lot of my time out in the backcountry for my work and for fun, stayed in very close touch with the people I cared deeply about, all without a smart phone or any apps. it was a fine way to live. all in all, the quality of my day was better without pocket computing, and no one was tracking me via ads and apps on a phone
