Progressing technology =/= beneficial technology for all. "Smart TVs", Netflix et al may be beneficial for some but for those not willing to have their viewing habits on NSA servers are a bane.

We are at the stage of a homogenization of mobile phone technology. Its like one has a choice between dumb and dumber. The industry is awaiting the next revolutionary product just like the iPhone was back 7 seven years for both good and bad reasons.

I may sound hypocritical by saying the above when I use an Android device as my primary device but I always wish that the OS I am using was better geared towards my needs instead of satisfying the needs of some arbitrary corporation looking to make some dollars of my data.

I really don't see the point of the topic; is it sharing your view point or is to come here and chastise people who choose not wanting to give up their "ancient" piece of technology?

My sincere hopes are for such topics to continue with viewpoints being shared instead of chastising people for their different choices.
