I'm not sure how much is a tech feature or un-walled policy would solve the problem. I think it would fractionally minimize it. The current psychological barrier -- people not using a phone as a computer and its imperfections is profound.

Before, if a phone didn't work, it was one of a few things, usually the device or the carrier. Now, it's one of a dozen dozen or more products and services. People couldn't export before. They might be able to now.

A friend of mine once noted the subtle difference between how technology can protect you from failure, but a backup can help protect you from yourself.

It feels like we're moving towards a singularity. Expectations, responsibility and technology.
