Its a luxury we won't be able to keep for much longer. Better enjoy it while its still an option!

If people followed your suit it WOULD make a difference. Giving up smart phones would put a huge dent in their plans.
They don't even need to give up smart phones! Just switch to a phone that runs on an alternate OS. Google free android exists.
Honestly I think most people like being told what to do. I'd be willing to bet that hotel lady has very good success with that line.

100% - like smart meters. A while back I got a voice mail stating that the electric company would be installing smart meters in my area the following week. I called and told them that i did NOT want a smart meter. They said "okay." I asked for that in writing and a couple weeks later received a letter stating that no smart meter would be installed - and it hasn't been. We are hideously guilty of accepting what we're told is going to happen as de facto - IMO, our acceptance is our biggest enemy, yet we rationalize it and focus on the wrong things. My biggest frustration with this whole movement.
I still have a 'dumb' flip phone, which they're telling me won't work on the network after December and I have to go in to the store and take care of it. Last time I had to replace them, the dumb phones were more costly than the 'smart' ones! :(

Yeah, ironic how we have to pay more for the things that keep us "safest."
