Comment on There was a time when people had to deal with all of these being separate

Young people today are increasingly choosing to have separate dedicated-purpose devices. And that's probably a good thing. It decreases distractions, lets you focus on what you're actually trying to do, and makes you less addicted to your phone, and avoids the always-connected evils that come with it

Plus, a single-purpose device is often better at that purpose than a combined device … especially when compared at the same price-for-price level.
A decent standalone digital camera will take far better pictures than any phone camera ever made … while still costing less than the best phone cameras.
A standalone mp3 player is smaller, cheaper, and has longer battery life than a phone, and it still plays music just as well.
