I dislike swiping, I never thought it was a good idea, I always seem to false swipe and lose an item.  I think I am scrolling up and the screen thinks I am moving left to right.

My mother used a Nook for years before she had a smart phone, she is always deleting or archiving different things, telling her children "I don't know what happened to...."

Google and apple maps use your cell phone location information to monitor traffic in real time.  Some guy walked around empty streets with a wagon full of cell phones, Google maps thinking traffic was moving slowly re-routed traffic around him.

Here in the US we have an iPhones-to-Androids ratio that is higher than most of the world, but there is still a very high density of Android devices on the roads.

It's been said that our lives are so dependent on our mobile devices today, that we are essentially the equivalent of cyborgs.  The integration between our biological and electronic components is very loose at this point but it is there.

It's called the Internet of things and it's awesome and wonderful and terrifying

and right now, countries where people are less concerned with freedom and more concerned with health are using it to track the movement of the virus.... it's kind of crazy.
