Require non-smartphone alternatives for real word services provided on apps
Background
Many companies are using apps to fulfil physical services. For example, parking payment, etc. Some of these apps do not have a physical alternative.
Additional details
We think any company offering an app to fulfill a physical service should be required to also offer a non-smartphone alternative, for accessibility. There are many reasons why someone may not have access to a smartphone. Some studies show they're addictive and poor for mental health, and they're expensive. We think this excludes a lot of people. We think being digitally underserved is an expensive inconvenience. We ask not to be shut out of modern society.
