“The lesson here isn’t to shun technology, it’s to shun sketchy, unknown games and apps.”
I’m just being a wise guy. I don’t have a smart phone because I’m cheap, and don’t need one. My flip phone is $10/mo on my wife’s bill. If we do need something like navigation, or a quick lookup, she has a smart phone.
I was being a smart(dumb)ass, too. I had a flip phone and I never thought I needed a smart phone, they're way too expensive.
My wife insisted on getting one, so we bought the cheapest iPhone we could find at the time, which was the 5C. I ended up having so much phone envy that 3 months later I had a 5C, too.
Never get one, they're too addicting, and you're right, they cost an arm and a leg.
