Well, I am one of these people who don't feel much fondness for smartphones. I carry a little flip phone with me when out and about, it has a camera which I rarely use and texting ability but no bells and whistles. Hubby has a smart phone that he carries. I can't help but feel that everywhere I look, people are focusing on their phones and not on the life going on all around them. And then when they do focus, they feel that they have to photograph or record, etc. I take vivid pictures with my mind and remember them many years later.
When I was a child, we took pictures of special occasions; my father had one of those slide carousels which he would run after we had gone on a picnic, or some other event, and we would look at the pictures through a projector, on a screen. The world is so different today! I see the value of smart phones, but I rarely use them. My two cents.
