A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Same goes with reading skills, which at some point weren't needed in society I bet.

Interesting perspective but then I think of the data on this phone as an extension of my privacy/private life; literacy doesn't track.

I guess privacy is getting more and more popular nowadays. Hopefully private smartphones will become easier to get

Yeah, phones such, literacy doesn't. But phones could have better software and hardware, then it would be fine.

Except that skills aren't at risk of being stolen, lost or stop working. Phones are tools, not skills.
