The trick is to get someone to pay you to make the smartphones
I, too, hate phones and love weed
People who hate smartphones are luddites. There's so much these devices bring to the table that it's hard to summarize. From instantly connecting to anyone in the world with audio as well as video to knowing exactly where we are at any point in time. Enabling us to handle almost any situation. As long as my phone can connect to a cell network or Wi-Fi you could drop me anywhere in the world and I'd be fine.
The people who think smartphones have made the world worse are barking up the wrong tree. It's not the concept of the smartphone that did that, it's apps and capitalism that did. Exploiting psychology to wring any possible profit out of humanity is the problem, not these wonderful fruits of miniaturization.

What problems are you actually solving, though?
Why do I need to connect to anyone in the world with audio and video? Why does any one need to know exactly where I am at all times? Why are you being dropped anywhere in the world with only a wifi connection?
