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.

  • You always raise deep and hard questions. 

    For me, if phones and computers and all technology disappeared, it would feel good. I would sit at the shore of the river and watch it flow. There is a lot left to marvel at; "To see a World in a Grain of Sand".

    Human technology has advanced faster than morality, so it would be a big relief. At all times there was the good and the bad, but now the damage we can cause is huge (man-made viruses, nuclear weapons, cyber attacks, fossil fuel leakage and pollution,...)

    For appointments and stuff, I would use landline. If that were gone it would be hard to go and book, but I would do it.
