The Little I know:
If you aren’t working you don’t need one. That means moms who aren’t working. Also most women have jobs that they don’t need to be contacted off hours.
Even so I have a computer, I don’t need to have skype and e-mail at my reach every second of the day.
I do understand the matzav is a bit different in the USA.
Although in Israel, having a smartphone means you don’t have to wait an hour at the bank, and you can work with your health care on the go, and many other useful apps, there aren’t necessary, and although technology advances and many people are trying to make things unworkable for non-smartphone users, I believe there’s a big enough population in Israel who will refuse to touch a smartphone, that forces the government and businesses and health care and everything else to make sure everything is available without a smartphone.
