Always had a cheap desktop computer and never thought a phone was worth it. Is there a reason people like me should reconsider?

If you're satisfied with what you have, by all means stick with it.

If your current setup is stopping you from doing something you want to do, or is holding you back from progress in something you care about, look around for solutions. Many other pieces of tech can fill in what a smartphone does, but in separate pieces. I think there is some value in having those separate pieces.

Like a smoker telling you not to smoke, I encourage you to find alternatives to the smart phone for daily life while typing to you from a smartphone.

I’m a smoker and I take offense to your comment. Winners never quit and quitters never win! Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em! /s
