Would you rather be able to do everything with one thing? Say, listen to music, take pictures, play, work and whatever with one device? Or would you rather have a specific device for listening to music, a specific device for taking pictures, a specific device for work and another one to play and such?
I personally prefer to keep things separate these days. On a practical level it means that I don’t depend entirely on a single object and that, if gets lost, damaged or runs out of battery, would let me with nothing at all. On a subjective level, I feel that having specialized objects for each need gives more weight to the routines I create with them, contrary to when I kept everything in one place and it felt superfluous and banal.
So far I have an old phone that I use as an MP3 player, an old tablet as an EBook, my old Ps2 to play games and so on.
I’ve always loathed the “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but still better than a master of one”. Specialists exist for a reason. And I feel the same with my tech. I’d love to be able to go back to having an amazing digital camera, a phone that made sure it connected everywhere, and so on. I could do such things with a little elbow grease and research but I know I’m too lazy to do that.
