[Discuss] [OT] Smart Phones

[mark at buttery.org (Shirley Márquez Dúlcey)]

Some of the uses of smartphones are life-changing in a more social
way. When I use my mobile map to make sure I reach a social
engagement, or to get transit schedules to reach an unfamiliar
location. When I check my email on the smartphone to catch last-minute
changes to a meeting location. When I text a friend to make it
possible for us to actually find each other in a crowded place. These
are using technology to facilitate social engagement, not to replace
it.
