why did millennial/gen-x parents think it was a good idea to purchase this shit to their 3-16yo kids?

I miss the first 10 years of smartphones. So many new and good devices.

Huh. Pfft... Nah, I probably think too much of it. It's not like the first Apple Computer is priced at 666.66$ right...? Meh, it's probably nothing.

no the smartphone was a good invention and enshittification was bound to happen regardless.

TRVTH NVKE. Prometheus destroyed humanity, and Gutenberg is burning in Hell.

It really is an amazing tool. And that's what it was pitched as: a tool. This was a different era when computers/phones were still utilities first and entertainment second. Everything got cancerous when that dynamic reversed.

>>106019590
The smartphone never had any value besides entertainment

>>106019648
>instant access to basically all of humanities knowledge is le entertainment

>>106019648

It is a computer in your pocket. It was revolutionary.

>>106019590
If it were a tool it would evolve to provide as much freedom as a PC, if not more. However, it was designed from the ground up as an anti-thesis of that freedom. A more apt description would be "toy".

>>106019652
>instant access to basically all of humanities knowledge
All "humanities knowledge" are locked behind subscriptions on sites like ScienceDirect while degenerate content on YouTube and Instagram is free so they can steal your personal data and make even more degenerate content.

You'll find it isn't the phone's fault when you think past your state-mandated childhood conditioning (commonly called "school" for some reason, and administered by - you guessed it - women).

Why would it? Explain why I would want my device to be ridden with shartware. It does everything you need and it does it well. You're describing a non situation

low iq schizo babble the post
nothing ever happens, they actually got down briefly after covid because I didn't have to see coworkers and hear their low iq drivel

it's media and you fall for the low iq drivel it feeds you because you cannot do statistics
are you underage? how will you survive comp sci 1st semester?

also splitting it in age cohorts and then saying that 10-14 year olds went from literally less than zero (0.5) to 2 and overscale it

>ok midwit
said the guy who looks at an NVIDIA performance chart where they put 10% performance increase into a 6 inch long bar

I mean you are probably too dumb to parse my post, picrel

>>106019953

that would be even up by 25% and it just proves how deceptive irrelevant statistical changes in suicide rates really are

it wasn't Jobs. It was Google, they brought in shitty cheap android smartphones to third world countries and the thirdies flooded the internet

He is actually correct, however.

Don't forget Facebook literally launching satellites and balloons to make sure every god damn uncontacted tribe on earth has (paid but heavily subsidised by Facebook) access to the internet and free access to their services.

Social media did all that not the smart phone. If it wasn’t for Assbook and Twatter getting a iOS App, people would’ve literally not used their phones and nearly as much, therefore it would not have led to more retarded, social media apps. That is literally the most used type of application on smart phones.

Apple was riding on that convenience train and sought profits regardless of the possible social ramifications of incentivizing dependency on and obsession for a portable device media device.

>>106021989
Think about it, the initial appeal of the iPhone was convenient internet access at the palm of your hand which could also fit right into your pocket. This conveniency extends to all things that access the internet, especially "social media". While I would say social media is a main culprit for the destabilization of modern culture, the advent of the iPhone only helped accelerate it by having a generation of product obsessed consumers buying any and all things made by Apple.

>>106018927 (OP)
Steve Jobs didn't want any of that shit to happen. He was against letting 3rd party apps run on the iPhone at all until the greedy jews on the Apple board convinced him to do it.

no way, this has to be schizobabble

god damn it

>>106018927 (OP)
All of this would have happened without the iPhone though, maybe other than the format thing.

But other phones did that already.

>But other phones did that already.
And other devices such as hard disk MP3 players such as the Creative Nomad Jukebox and flash based MP3 players such as the Rio PMP300 did what the iPod did, but not at the same level of functionality, style, and ease of use as the iPod.

The iPhone was the quintessential smart phone of it's time which combined all the latest features of a smart phone in an easy to use package, making it one of if not the most desirable consumer electronic product of the early 2000's.
