I can&#x27;t decipher from this article why he doesn&#x27;t just have a phone and not check it all the time. I carry a shiny new iPhone all the time and I rarely pull it out of my pocket. Maybe once or twice a day to check new messages (which he&#x27;s already doing with the damn laptop) and then occasionally for the stuff he borrows other people&#x27;s phones for, Uber, quick messages, calls.<p>Perhaps he should be lamenting his own lack of self control instead of cell phones. If everyone walked around needing one but not carrying one there&#x27;d be nobody to borrow from and we&#x27;d be back to pay phones. Nonsense.
