I find these devices very empowering if used constructively

If its just for web browsing, then yes - there are definitely better things you could do with your time - but if you use to learn things, to communicate with your immediate neighbours (who might not speak the same language), to read books (z-lib is fantastic...), to practice learning drills (anki is amazing), I can't help but feel that these devices are a marvel to behold, albeit only when they are devoid of all bloat or spyware (which is a hard thing to accomplish in this day and age)
