@ploum Unfortunately, smartphones, like many other technologies are pushed on us in a way that prey on our natural anxieties as humans.

This is similar to Ring door cameras being pushed (at least the US). What if a package is delivered while you aren't home and someone steals it? What if your house is robbed? But what people don't realize is that there is no evidence that crime is actually reduced. It's difficult for most people to get past the feat and anxiety to even think about that part.
