That's my point right? Some technology didn't need to evolve, in comparison, maybe the technology itself was actually good. Sometimes the tradeoffs aren't worth it. Now if I want to handle phone calls, I have to keep a device charged daily and purchase a new one every 2 years or risk it becoming, slow, obsolete, and insecure. My desktop telephone from 2001, stills works as it did when it was new, didn't end up in a landfill, didn't require "exotic" precious metals, doesn't get less usable, doesn't consume any more power (for me) etc. It doesn't track everything I do, everywhere I go. At worse someone tapped my phone call.
