    Yup, calling bs on the article, since a pc is both cheaper and easier than a phone. Besides, if you know how to navigate a window and type into a textbox (both required for YouTube) you know how to write a digital form

    This article is made up drama

      Mate.

      Phones are massive in the developing world. A computer with a power plug for it and the monitor is not cheap or practical when your power goes out frequently. And a laptop battery costs so much more to fill up than a phone and lasts half the time.

      Everyone uses phones, even homeless people in my “developed” country use phones over computers.

      You are out of touch. All over the world, people use cell phones. Desktop computers require stable power and space. They also aren’t cheaper than a cheap cellphone.

      Even the most destitute people have cellphones these days. If the country is in good enough shape that a person could procure a computer, then cellphones are likely more available and cheaper. In fact, your cellphone is likely the source of your data connection even if you do have a laptop or some other computer in a remote area.
