Smart phones

Definition:

A phone is one that you consume.
A smart phone is one that consumes you.

Putting it differently - a corollary:

You can't take a dip in water and not get wet,

or touch fire and not burn yourself!

You can't have a smart phone

and not get consumed.

When technology overshoots

When markets overshoot’s,
there is a price correction (often crash-landing).

When technology overshoots
how does the correction occur?

The day I posted this question on the net, I found a picture (below) that somewhat depicted what I had in mind.

Addendum:

There is a slight flaw in the analogy I have presented, though..That is the old big television set might induce the same problems as a flat High definition television would!

But its likely that the viewing experience would be unmatched and so much more tempting!
