Depends on what you call a "hardship." I have not enjoyed having my life come to a screeching halt, but other than boredom, am experiencing no real hardships yet.
I like typing text messages rather than saying them out loud.
True... I have an accent, so sometimes recorders on phones and siri et all, can't decipher some words so I have to repeat them which is a Pain... so it's easier to type...
