What's life without a smartphone, tablet or laptop like these days? Are landlines still usable?

Ah yes, the good old:

"Complains about pollusion, but still breathes the air"

That's a good one. I need to remember it.

If they had said "I don't like allowing CORPXYZ to run a microphone in my house" or "I have an issue with ... " that would be a reasonable objection.

Instead, this is "I don't allow anything to pollute from my property, but you're welcome to join me at my nightly bonfire".

I've started not taking my phone anywhere with me unless I think I may need it for something (grocery shopping, for example).

mobile phones are not nearly as necessary as people seem to think, especially during covid.
