The Anti-Smartphone Revolution

Many people are choosing to stop using smartphones and instead are using simpler 'dumb phones'. This is because smartphones can make people feel stressed and waste time. People using dumb phones say they feel calmer, more present, and have more time for other things. They also feel less addicted to their devices. While there are some small problems, like not being able to scan QR codes easily, many users feel the benefits of being less connected to the internet are worth it. Companies like Light phone and Nokia are now making new versions of these simpler phones, showing a growing interest in this trend, especially among younger adults who grew up with both pre-internet and internet eras.
