And did that improve life? Smart phone addiction, doom scrolling are huge problems. As well as people always stuck in their echo chambers thanks to having them with them 24/7, spoon fed by AI algorithms to be continuously outraged at others.

I don't have a smartphone btw, saw it coming, ditched it in 2009.

Internet and smartphones are extremely helpful.

You have a video camera always in your pocket.

You have access to any kind of music you could possibly want to hear anytime everywhere in your pocket.

You have GPS and real time info about traffic in your pocket.

You have more knowledge available in your pocket than a whole country has stored in libraries.

You can communicate with relatives and people all around the world in real time whenever you want, like I'm doing to you right now.

In my case here in Brazil, you can pay/transfer instantly anything, from business or your friends, without having a credit/debit card with just your smartphone with PIX.

You can find about events anywhere anytime with internet in your pocket.

You can find promotions online no physical store would ever give you, immediatly when they are available, I just ordered a game when a 20% coupoun was made available and handed to my phone immediatly because of a sharing app.

Again, technology is great, but can be used both well and not, it depends on how people use it.

And when does the bad outweigh the convenience (All stuff I do not need in my pocket)

Around 30% of people globally are at high risk of phone addiction, with 57% of Americans admitting to it. Users check their phones an average of 63–150 times daily, often leading to anxiety, with 71% sleeping next to their devices. Nearly 40% of consumers, including 60% of young adults, feel they use their phones too much.
