Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

...will be like trying to function in our world without a smartphone.

As an ADHD and LightPhone enjoyer, It really isn't that hard. You just have to live life with the forethought that the ancients employed way back in 2004. The gravest problem I've faced is that I've wasted a shit-ton of potential Jimmy John's loyalty points on account of not having a QR code reader.

Sure it is possible, but you are at a disadvantage. If you decide to go eat somewhere, you cannot look into while out. If you are at a store and want to look up an ingredient or a price elsewhere you cannot. If you need navigate to somewhere. There are so many useful things having a smartphone that without is simply a disadvantage.
