Done With Smart Phones

I started to feel that smartphones are so evil a good while back now. It's not just social media that's causing the "brainrot" that we talk about. That used to be contained to a minority who spent literally all day in the computer. Now practically EVERYONE is chronically online. I want to see the start of a movement where we go back to having like "dumb" flip-phones or like the ones w the sliding keyboard so we can still reach whoever we need to when we need to, but we don't have a constant stream of info and propaganda and terrifyingly custom advertisements in our faces all day everyday. I unironically think that that would be the best way to start to heal society. HMD started pumping out phones like this due to demand, and they're releasing a Barbie-themed pink "dumb" flip-phone in July too that I'm thinking of grabbing. I'm really glad that this website exists too, because the format of older social media is much more human-friendly for lack of a better way to put it.
