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.

  • I have a smart phone, but I often forget to turn it on or take it with me when I go out. I really only have it for emergencies when driving (not that I drive much). I use it abroad for checking emails and that's about it. I think they are far too fragile, easily lost, stolen or electronically hijacked for me to entrust with anything to do with money.
