Same thing regarding the utilities -- we need home electricity switcheable with a key/knob, not browsing it for a minute in a smartphone (yes, with phone full of running apps, and network hickups, it may take a minute). And we need public transit usable without any smartphone, not to make people look for the buses on a smartphone map (try pushing a stroller with a kid on a cold winter day and search for buses in an app).
