> the apps don't solve any of my problems

Reminds me of when dumbphones were introduced and people said things like why do I need to have a phone with me all the time.



I don't remember anyone saying that.


In the 1980s, it was pretty common.

This is what cellphones looked like, back then: https://share.google/z3bBbfhT43EHcDYoc

Cellphones actually were quite small, during the 1990s. I used to go to Japan, and they got downright tiny during that time.

Smartphones actually increased the size (but not to 1980s scale).
