> Would you care to elaborate how you don't think a phone is not “practically necessary”?

Can you rephrase sans the cascading negatives. To restate, I have a full life in a G20 country, I don't own or use a smart phone.

> I have never personally met someone like you.

There are many people on the planet.

> Practically nobody lives like you do.

There are many people like me .. you don't met them via your smart phone.

I've had smart phones since the first Android, and my whole live revolves around my digital data (even more so when I have 2FA on everything)

But I've had plenty of moments in my life without a phone, be it the battery is dead, or I've lost/broke it. And I've survived fine.

I've had to re-engineer some parts of life, but yet I remain...
