It’s a new month, so presumably, it’s time for a new sale at Best Buy, a retailer that has more sales than a six-mast schooner (and yes, I am aware that pun doesn’t work because sail is spelled differently).

They’re all way more powerful than we really need, they all have nifty multilens cameras and they all look essentially the same. I really hoped that folding phones would give a much needed shot of adrenaline to the industry. But well over a year after their …

The digital divide is a massive problem affecting millions of people — but if you only think about it that way, it can be abstract and overwhelming.
