I realize the seeming ubiquity of cell phones these days but no not everyone has them. No they are not universal. Many people can barely afford internet let alone cell service on top of it. Or they might simply not want to worry about the invasion of privacy cell phones create. Or they may live in an area without cell service. Whatever the case not everyone has a cell phone. Not everyone has SMS messaging and not everyone is comfortable giving up their phone number even if they have it. I realize the desire for two factor authentication however it should still be optional or there needs to be an alternative devised for those without cell service. I'm no talking just about Steemit (because as I mentioned in a previous article you can't join Steemit right now without a cell phone) but all tech attitudes. This attitude needs to change. Not owning a cell phone should not mean one is ostracized from society, digital or otherwise.
I'll write more on this later....
