I&#x27;m a rather unorthodox case in that I own several smartphones, but never use the telephony or even any social and entertainment applications. Instead, I treat them as testing grounds for various alternative platforms like KDE Plasma Mobile, Ubuntu Touch, Replicant, CyanogenMod and so forth.<p>My actual phone is a prepaid flip phone.<p>(At the risk of invoking &quot;le wrong generation,&quot; I&#x27;m a Millennial. I find a certain humor in observing how older people are glued to their smartphones in spite of the frequent complaints that are implicitly assumed about me. I will grant that pathological smartphone obsession is a disgruntling phenomenon, but hardly contained to Millennials. I frequently find myself the odd one out <i>not</i> checking their smartphone in a waiting room.)
