Cell phones do not add convenience to our lives.

Substantiation

If I collated all the hours of time I spend trying to get shit working.

To be honest, I'm not against phones. There was a sweet spot for me. The time when SMS messages were rediculously expensive. That was fine. SMS are super useful. Like calling can be super useful. Besides that, I just hate phones and I imagine if I added up all of the minutes that I have used in my life doing the above things, I'm quite sure it would be a few months. If I was to add that to the total fucking waste of time that the catastrophe of human critical thinking that was 2020, I'm looking at wasted years of my life.

People only live for 60-80 years. I don't want more time wasted with useless shit.

Okay, there are some perceivable benefits and this is very much an opinionated rant but, I actually find cash super convenient. Banking (when all of the bank branches are not closing down one by one) convenient. Almost like there was no problem in a developed nation. I feel now we are just on the rollercoaster of mimicking authoritarian payment, social network, everything apps.

Not sure whether it's so controversial, but depends on the location I suppose. I do a fair amount of traveling for one reason or another, and find that the bureaucracy doesn't subside, and the redundancy is taken away which ultimately forces everybody to adopt things whether they like it or not.
