While new features on smartphones are sure to dazzle us for years to come, for much of the developed world, the presence of a smartphone is wholly mainstream, and so, the smartphone itself does not hold the “wow” factor it once did.
The result? First-world-problems. You know how it is, you’re grinding away at something, waiting in line, waiting for someone, waiting for something, or (just as likely) you’re not doing anything at all. You’re bored.
What do you do? Well, you reach for your smartphone. As if to issue a demand, “Entertain me,” you flip through whatever notifications you have, look through your news feed…and it all looks the same as it always does.
The result? First-world problems. You get bored (again), and put the phone away so you can simply grind away at something (again), keep waiting in line (again), continue waiting for someone (again), or keep doing nothing, which is what you were already doing anyway.
