This highlights how much the Internet has changed. Originally, you had to be computer literate to be online. This is from the time when you had to at least be literate to be online. Nowadays, all sorts of sub-humans and non-humans have 24/7 connectivity.
I often have told people the internet was a mistake. But, you're right. Smartphones were the real one. Maybe even cell phones were. I'd roll back to my old Blackberry in a second. It did enough with phone/text/email/calendar to allow survival in the modern world. If I could drag the world back with me, I'd really have little complaint with a voice only phone.
It's a microcosm of what's been happening to our country over the course of my lifetime as well. Everything is great when you keep out the riffraff, but once you let everyone in it all goes to shit.
The old internet was a place of wonder, joy and utter surprise. The last great frontier...now overrun by a billion animals and forever ruined.

Internet was amazing pre smartphone.
Fucking Steve Jobs. Glad he died slowly and painfully.
Too bad he destroyed a perfectly good liver to buy himself some time. Don't worry though, doctors would NEVER sell organs to the highest bidder.

That image of a Chinese bot farm, with an entire wall of smartphones, still stick out in my mind.
