&gt;I don&#x27;t own a smartphone, because it&#x27;s a consumption device rather than both consumption and production, is just silly. So is a photoalbum, so is a book, so is a TV, so is a music player.<p>I owned a smart-phone for a year. I didn&#x27;t replace photo-album, book, TV, Music player or camera with it. I only replaced a dumb phone. So I gave it away. I do enjoy many consumption devices, I don&#x27;t need one more, if it just means consuming more. But I might adopt consumption device if it allowed me to consume better.
