In China, you can’t exist without a smartphone, because for all existential things you have to do (paying bills, buying tickets etc.) , you are forced to use the almighty wechat app. Smartphones are a tool to manipulate and to spy on the population. It is a tool utilized by the ruling class, to control the masses. I hate the future and I hate “progress”.

    My kid’s school just implemented an app-based pickup process this year.

    You have to download an app and register your phone and email and child, then when you get in the line to pickup your child you have to press a button in the app.

    I literally cannot retrieve my child from school without a smartphone.
