Is everyone really this "connected" when having a smartphone? When I have a smartphone I'm not really "more connected", after all peple could call me on a dumbphone too.

However, what it brings is "Internet everywhere yay!", which I then use to read forums, wikipedia, articles, etc... whenever not near a computer. Plus of course it can play PC games like Freeciv, nethack and Minecraft.

So basically, I'm about exactly as social on a smartphone as on a desktop computer, and now have an environment that used to exist only at a desk, on trains and on the toilet :)
