Smartphone/Creative Destruction Cartoon. I see lots of consumer and producer surplus value. How about you?

Stop and think about ALL the separate and distinct products we used to have to purchase individually to do all the things a Smartphone can do today.

One way to think of Smartphones is it is a plus for the environment.  Think about all the resources, most non-renewable, that are not employed because they are contained in one small rectangular case.

I am not sure the real value of these devices is captured in the price we pay.  I have to think the surplus value far (?) exceeds the price.

What do you think?
