On: Laziness isn’t why people are poor. And iPhones aren’t why they lack health care

You also have to be techie enough to use Android... which if you're dirt poor you might not be.

Android works practically the same as iOS. Neither is particularly intuitive, but they're also not hard to learn.

One learning experience that sticks out to me was googling how to turn off my iPhone the first time I went to a movie with it.

Lets not kid ourselves... you can download something from the Android store that ruins your life.

OMG, give me an example for crying out loud!

If I'm young and have owned more than one smartphone, I more or less know how they work. To suggest that the poor are somehow too dumb and stupid to appreciate the mysterious, multi-layered nuances of a fucking _App store_ is to crap all over them from your ivory tower.

If I'm young and have owned more than one smartphone...

Now make the exciting mental leap... what if you haven't owned a smartphone before?

An Android was my first smartphone. Later on, I got pretty crazy with my tinkering, but for a long time, I just kept it the way that I purchased it.

It wasn't hard to learn, just miserably slow.
