The SmartFone. Asimov's Final Law of Inverse Proportion of Intelligence/Nomenclature reminds us that the smarter the device, the more stupid the owner becomes. Man was pretty adept with his sticks and flints. But by the time he had acquired washing machines and cars his behaviour left a lot to be desired. And give him a SmartFone with its ability to handle e-mail on the move... Oh oh! Seen particulary at use in organisations (q.v.) and meetings (q.v.), the SmartFone instills a reactive, reptile brain behaviour in many with bizarre discussions about best apps, battery life and pricing protocols.
