Yeah, turning up for an internship and telling the manager I did not have a phone and he&#x27;d have to email me and wait like everyone else was fun. No internet at home either so I&#x27;d go to the local library to catch up. It was the most carefree period of my life. Sadly circumstances changed and I changed with it. A few years later, I faced down immense pressure from co-workers to get on whatsapp. Caved after sometime but regretted it near immediately and deleted whatsapp when I quit the job.<p>These days I feel the advantages of a smartphone outweigh the downsides. Still hate phone companies though and hope they get disrupted out of existence.
