I put off getting a smartphone until like 2015. I was 21 and was one of the last of my friends not to have one. My argument against it was precisely that: "I don't want to be online all day and I know that's exactly what's going to happen."

I didn't even buy my first smartphone. My sister gave it to me. It stayed in the box for six months. I so so did not fucking want it.

Work forced me into keeping a smart phone. The key fob I was using for MFA died and they were no longer replacing them so I had to use the app.
