Considering the handiness of smartphones, do you still use traditional technologies?

For example, using keylocks instead of smartlocks, since keylocks doesnt require power, it is easily accessible. For money, what happens if you run out of battery and you need a ride (taxi) thats why it would be handy to keep spare change in your wallet.

While on the other hand, things like alarm clocks, fitness tracker. I would use my phone instead. Since those aren't essential things for me, i wouldnt panic if my phone runs out of battery for such applications.

I value safety and freedom more than convenience sake.
I wouldnt want to sleep outside my house because of a smart lock failure or out of cash due to phone dying.

Yeah that makes sense, same reason I wouldn't rely on smartlocks for my home... i've heard too many stories from people I know about getting locked out cause they neglected the power failure signal... If ever i did purchase a smartlock i would ensure it also came with a key for backup (Schlage and Kwikset have these types of locks) although these are pretty easy to lockpick.
