Just wondering, in your own words, what demographic is this article is discussing?

*required by capitalism for "modern" life. Literally no one actually needs a phone. But samsung and apple do need to keep their slave labor producing products for consumers.

Phones REALLY enable stupidity amongst, like.... everyone though.

I'm not sure if there's a middle ground or what it would be.
