- Comment on I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones. 5 days ago:
People who hate smartphones are luddites. There’s so much these devices bring to the table that it’s hard to summarize. From instantly connecting to anyone in the world with audio as well as video to knowing exactly where we are at any point in time. Enabling us to handle almost any situation. As long as my phone can connect to a cell network or Wi-Fi you could drop me anywhere in the world and I’d be fine.
The people who think smartphones have made the world worse are barking up the wrong tree. It’s not the concept of the smartphone that did that, it’s apps and capitalism that did. Exploiting psychology to wring any possible profit out of humanity is the problem, not these wonderful fruits of miniaturization.

I always found this to be a bad example. 15 people out of the 51 on that page are playing the game they’re in a boycott group for. That’s at least a minority, even if that had been representative of all 1557 members.
