    i have come to love just not owning a smartphone anymore.

    World is way more of an adventure when you out and about without internet connection on you.

    Wana know how to get somewhere? Find a map or ask someone.

    Pay something? There is cash for that.

    Wana take a picture? Just take a camera with you, because lets be real 99% of the pics in your smartphones camera roll wont get viewed ever again anyhow.

    Wana meet with other people? Well make out a time and spot before u leave the house…

    Wana be reachable to others while u out and about? Dont! Its a wonderfull feeling not to be.

    Wana pass some time while waiting for someone/something? Bring a book.

    Sure it may be inconvinient for others that you are not instantly reachable 24/7. But its a wonderfull feeling not to be. To comunicate on your own terms.

      That’s life before 2000, or even up to 2005 or like. Was not bad, really. Internet was slow and stuck in computers, astalavista, radium, emule and burning dvds The evolution of cellphones into smartphones was somehow a bad move for humanity
