Unfortunately most are still using the entirely corrupt and captured legacy media for information. Those who are in the know find it a joke. It's convenience over content.

I could if it wasn't necessary. There's just no way I could conduct my affairs without one. Substack and soundcloud are the only two social media platforms i use however. I gave up all the others four years ago. I honestly don't mind my phone. It doesn't really impact my life too much. That being said I'd rather not have one.
Your life and activities are your own to manage, as and as best as you are able to, of course. But if you and your partner and the other couples you know and their last (several) or present partner(s) were introduced by some kind of an online platform for which a smartphone was a necessary interface then, objectively, the dysfunction is hard to deny. But I digress.
Oh... "affairs" sorry... by affairs I meant my business dealings and government websites etc that I must access... Haha that's funny! Not the sexual variety! тШ║я╕П Language!
Oh, I understood exactly what you meant by business, and I did not instead confound the meaning into the chesterfield rugby denotation.
Almost certainly I gave what turned out to be a misleading example to illustrate the ubiquity of the smartphone in all human interaction, but also tried to suggest this, though by leaving unsaid, the almost impossibility of two people meeting afore amour exclusive of online platform and smartphone app husbandry. What used to be a natural process of discovery that was accepted (even if grudgingly so, or more likely due to there not being any alternative available) of finding out about a person one might be interested in by witnessing and the painstaking gathering of evidence from that other person's behaviour, bearing, actions, and statements, now seems unthinkable when people believe they are satisfactorily informed from the other's social media profile.
But as for our other, less lascivious business dealings, of the kind that you intended and I properly inferred, we(*) can't deny that we were too torpid and compliant while the creeping smartphone insertion into the way we conduct our every dealings and transactions took place. Of course, all those responsible for this smartphone subversion were well-aware that there would be no resistance until the sedition was complete, and even after.
(*) I include myself when I say 'we' and 'our' even though I have long rejected the smartphone and steadfastly refuse to conduct any of my affairs, business or otherwise, by the agency of such a device. I refuse the company of others who carry one, as well. Of course, I must also admit that I conduct close to zero affairs across the entire board and keep almost no company at all any longer since COVID-19, by choice, and not at all because I fear real or fictive viruses either..

Convenience is the stultifying skewer upon which the people have been impaled.
Try convincing anyone (maybe even yourself) to give up your smartphone.
