65% of browser traffic comes from mobile and 95% use mobile for browsing sometimes according to a quick internet search. What should they be doing, carrying around their laptop with them?


Wait until you're home to browse the internet. I'm such much of that browsing was just boredom. If any of it was important, it could have either been planned ahead of time, or you could have just waited until you got home. If it were so important you'd remember it when you got home to a real computer.


Your advice is now that people shouldn’t use apps or browse the web on mobile in 2025?

They might as well carry around flip phones.


It's clear improvement. People keep trying to solve these technology problems by layering on yet more technology, or by switching to other technologies. That's a game of cat and mouse. The much better path is abstaining from use. The vast majority of what people do on their phones is mindless scrolling. Actual work can wait until you're in front of a laptop or a desktop. It will be much more efficient and capable than a phone. There might be some edge cases where a phone really is best, but these are not common.

Most people think their phones are useful, when really their phones are addictive.
