For me it’s also about reducing my reliance on my mobile. Teaching my kids by example that life isn’t only on my phone is easier when I can more clearly demonstrate what I’m doing. To listen to music I get my music device. When I want to take pictures, I grab my camera.
Basically this, for me. I want my devices to be more dedicated to a singular purpose, so I’m not tethered to my phone all day. Having a camera, an MP3 player, and a handheld makes my actions feel more purposeful. Building off that, having a “one-stop-shop” type of device or service or anything really imo makes the overall experience worse. Think Wal-mart versus a dedicated electronics store or something.
