      Smart phones are so cheap and plentiful that even most homeless people can afford them.

      It’s actually a really safe bet that people have phones even if they have nothing else. You would be right more often then not.

      My friend, phones can be very cheap and accessable and most has one. Like one of the comments said below said, you can find a cheap phone for under 100 dollars.

        keep in mind that 40% of the global population doesn’t own a smartphone.

        that’s billions of people that you’re leaving out of your analysis which doesn’t sound very fair to them. you don’t understand poverty because you’re assuming your living conditions will be the same as theirs.

          Do i have to consider every person alive whenever i make a comment? of course, people in poverty will have different ways of doing things and won’t be able to afford things you and I can. I thought this is a given, no?

            you have to consider whether the points you make reflect the reality of billions of people on earth. i don’t know what’s so hard about it

              You would only need to consider that if it would be applicable to a reason view on the statement being made.

              In a topic about AI and smart phones considering every single toddler, child and geriatric for example doesn’t make sense. Considering every single people entirely uninterested in tech would be unreasonable.

              So no, no one would find it reasonable that you would need to consider billions of people in a topic that only really makes sense to a fraction of a fraction.
