If smart phones disapeared how would you cope?

I would cope fine as I don't have one, they're smarter than me for a start, but I know most people do have them and use them all the time.

How would you do your banking and benefits, could you cope with having to talk to an actual person?

What about if the internet got blasted back 15 years and there was no AI, an internet that was smaller but in many ways friendlier and easier to use. If there were only texts and phone calls and no real social media? No streaming either, you either watched something live or recorded it!

I think I'd be happier and find things easier as I've never really got to grips with technology, I found things hard enough 15 years ago, now many things seem impossible.

  • It would have a big affect on my life. I use it for so many things. So many apps that help me to keep track of things like banking, electricity etc. I wouldn't like not being able to just check those things and I'd dislike having to ring up even more. 

    I'd probably live without social media. It'd be an adjustment but would probably do me some favours in many ways.

    I like to stream things and would be bothered if I missed it. It's actually really hard to record things now unless you pay for things like sky so I rely on streaming if I'm not in. 

    I also like to check details of things such as looking at a menu for a restaurant before I go so I know there's something I'm ok eating. My anxiety would definitely be higher if that was taken away from me.
