I don’t even have a smartphone and I don’t see the need of one.
RE: I don’t even have a smartphone
How about a basic cell phone?

I can change that idea in a heartbeat with a simple question:
How do you browse FR when you are having lunch at Del Taco?
I had a Blackberry for about two years before giving it up about three years ago. The problem? The smart phone got dumb. The very excellent encyclopedia, weather forcasts, games, dictionary and news got dumbed down. Instead it became advertising, lousier services, and more geared to contacting people constantly. It's gotten so the phones control the people
Life is much better without a "smart" phone. I have a $10/month cell phone (minutes extra) which shows the time.
As far as these new devices? People will embrace them. The human drones will love whatever it is advertisers tell them they're supposed to "have to have".
Mygosh, and wearing the thing? Can you imagine how great that'll be for monitoring everything you can imagine about people?
I can sea it now. A phone call: "Prentisia, come in to the health drop-in center for medication. Your blood pressure is too high". Etc
