Smartphone isn't really even a device category, it's a legal category. I barely ever use my phone as a phone; I don't talk on it, I type on it and tap on it; it's just a computer and an access point to networks.
But it's a special kind of computer where all the laws are different, I have different rights when I'm near it or using it, and I am in constant battle with the companies that sold the phone to me to 1) try to keep my life as private as I can and 2) not pay them a commission on things I buy.
But what can I say about my phone that I couldn't now say about my TV, or my car?
This will never become less dangerous, this will become increasingly more dangerous.
