Over a Million Brits Don’t Have and Don’t Carry a Skinnerbox

The harms of mobile phones are too many to even remember

Side Effects Of Smartphone

I understand that based on fairly recent public statistics, about 2% of people in the UK (definitely over 1%) rightly reject skinnerbox ownership. It’s not that they’re unable to afford it and not having one can lead to problems only because of the wrong assumption everyone has one or must have one.

The other day some company was asking persons in training sessions to give input, in effect leaving feedback by scanning a code. It was making the assumption everyone has the ability to scan a QR code (barcode for skinnerboxes). By doing so, it was leaving out people who don’t want to waste their lives with a “mark of the beast” (religious term) or beacon or similar.

Please don’t be one of those companies.
