It takes only a tiny fraction of a smartphone's capabilities to make us dumb.
The endless scrolling and liking on social (which is now a pandemic) could arguably be served by a much slimmed down device. NB: Maybe thats something Meta should build and offer "for free".
I dont know how we could ever get immunized against big tech dumbness and start really using smartphones in smart ways. They pack exceptional hardware. Mine even has an FM radio (thats something to do with electromagnetic waves).
Its just a matter of software. Which is a matter of mindsets, control and economics. I like to think that a society that manages to truly use smartphones as smart devices will get to the next level of civilization
