I can't decipher from this article why he doesn't just have a phone and not check it all the time. I carry a shiny new iPhone all the time and I rarely pull it out of my pocket. Maybe once or twice a day to check new messages (which he's already doing with the damn laptop) and then occasionally for the stuff he borrows other people's phones for, Uber, quick messages, calls.

Perhaps he should be lamenting his own lack of self control instead of cell phones. If everyone walked around needing one but not carrying one there'd be nobody to borrow from and we'd be back to pay phones. Nonsense.
