You do realize for many people (in the world), their phone is their only computer/access to the internet?

    I know. I did homework in Tokyo on my Linux phone. The argument was, how did we get to a point where working at a grocery store requires you to purchase a smart phone? When I worked in JcPenny, they gave you those iphone like things. What next? Bring your own cups, plates, cutlery to a restaurant? It's encouraged to bring your own bag to a store, scan your own items... Should I go empty the truck as well and wash the bathroom?
