    I understand your position and for me I’m not sure if it’s my age or starting with flip phone I can type faster than smart phone with no error.

    When technology evolved your examples came in order of 2 then 1. I did do option 2 but the phones kept getting “smarter”. At this point I just over it and these “smart” phones are doing too much. Which Im slowly reverting back to a flip phone. Well a smart flip phone if they’re still around, need some apps to live in this world.

      I understand if age might be a limiting factor here. I’m nearing 40 myself. But I still think phones are getting smarter, rather than “‘smarter’”. Phones are incredibly capable these days. It’s the app makers who are making shit apps, more like. Designed to hog our attention and waste our time.

      But the phones just run what they’re told to run, bless them. 🥰

      My kids keep asking me if they can play games on my phone, which can definitely run games very well. I tell them I have no games on it (which is the truth), and they let me have my phone to myself. 😆 Also no TikTok or Snapchat and garbage like that. 👍 They will learn to be bored and find/make entertainment themselves, like I did damnit!
