Now imagine how poor people stress if their smartphone bricks or gets damaged or lost.
Now imagine how poor people stress if their smartphone bricks or gets damaged or lost. Or if they're homeless, in which case the likelihood of their possesions getting damaged is probably much higher. It's weird that people are sleepwalking into this single point-of-failure dystopia instead of regulating it out existence and only realize it when their phone gets damaged or lost or is glitching in some deal-breaking way. Here's a tip, if you want people to help you out don't start with, "I don't have an smartphone..." Instead, say a variation of "Hey, my camera's broken/the app keeps crashing on my phone. Can you help me out?" People tend to be a lot more sympathetic. I've never had issues with the restaurant QR thing. me:"Hey, my camera doesn't work can you help me out?" waiter: "Sure you can take a look on my phone/use this tablet." Like, I have to fix my phone's camera before I can park in your city? are you kidding me?
