Smart phones aren't the root cause, it's the fact that the smart phone companies have convinced us, more than any other industry, that we must buy a new one every 18 months, no matter what.

Lease an incredibly expensive phone to make it affordable, then after 18 months, come in and get the upgraded version. Rinse and repeat. No one would spend $500-1000 every 2 years on their desktop computer, but they're happy to drop that coin on something that lives in their pocket and shatters regularly. Oh...and they spend 4 times that for the 4 people in the house.

If your $600 phone is slowing down and obsolete after 2 years, then it was a rip off. Technology is better than that...
