Imagine trying to hail a cab, buy something, find a romantic partner, scan a QR code, schedule an event, call a friend, find your way without one.

And that's just scratching the surface.

Without a smartphone, you basically can't exist equally.

100% not hyperbole. And before you think this is hyperbole, consider that menus at restaurants are no longer physical, that government IDs are being issued to smartphone, that POS systems are transitioning to smartphone, etc. etc.

Everything else will wither and die. The smartphone is the gateway to all modern commerce, communication, and mobility.




"The most important function" is still a hyperbole. I am not denying "an important function" or "one of critical functions".

But you can exist without smartphone.

You cannot without food.
