    Can we just ban smartphones in general? Please?

    Go back to payphones and pagers and if you need to carry information in your pocket, PDAs where you have useful non-connected apps and download information ahead of time at home and store on the device instead of using a slow, unreliable, garbage tracking device to find what you need.

      I’m with you. I have similar relationship with connected devices as I do with cigarettes.

      I don’t like being threatened by the state but banning something has a bonus effect of making it look dirty.
