    So that thing with all my financial info, that accesses all the places I present myself publicly (ie social media), that is the primary method of people contacting me, that might be my best means of procuring transportation/food/emergency services, that helps me know where to go, that is my calculator/rolodex/calendar, that has all my prescription alarms, etc., that thing? Why would I miss it?

      Well , it doesn’t explicitly specify in the article what they mean by “don’t have their phone”, but from context I understand it as “not using it”, or having it put away but still within reach.

      The article also seem very directed at social media. All the things you mentioned, except social media, are on a ‘need’ basis (transportation, bank access, etc) which really doesn’t take an abundance of screen time.
