  Once you detox from a smart phone, you realize the world isnt as angry as the social media makes it to be.  Social media has ruined EVERY.THING.

  It's crazy to think that there are people out there who dont realize that a lot of us grew up without "smartphones". And we all used a phone attached to the wall.

  This to me is why a Blackberry style phone is probably about perfect. A smartphone without all of the apps but you could still have email, a basic browser, a full keyboard, and then some sort of gps application.

  Can confirm: I switched over to a dumb phone. If I want to use the internet, I wait til I get home to use it. I enjoy the simplicity of my dumb phone, would have it no other way.

  I would have to be pretty stupid to buy a "dumb phone" for $400...

  Who else HATES endless texting back and forth when a 3-5 minute phone call could accomplish the conversation?

  It’s interesting how phones have evolved over the years. <br>They went from being large in the 1980s, to small in the 2000s and then back to large in the 2010s and 2020s.

  I ditched my smart watch for a mechanical watch and it&apos;s been one of the best things I&apos;ve done for my mental health. &nbsp; Now this has given me something else to ruminate on.

  I can see dumb phones for kids totally being a thing, I had a Motorola Razr flip phone as a middle and high schooler, and for most things kids needed to do that was perfectly sufficient to tell my parents if I&apos;d be coming back home late that day or if something was wrong. I don&apos;t doubt there&apos;s social pressure among kids to have a nice phone, though, similar to the fashion trends of old.
