The Nomophobe

Dumbphones

In a bid to cut screen time and endless scrolling, a rising number of people in the US are ditching smartphones for more basic handsets.

The replacement of the smartphone with a dumbphone is having a profound positive impact on their mental health.

“More quality time with my family.”

The smartphone took its name from being able to do everything. But doing everything is at the detriment to our well being and started a global addiction, called nomophobia.

“A smartphone’s greatest strength has become our greatest weakness.”

Would you choose to box up your smartphone and use a basic phone for a week? One that frees you up to emotionally engage with those around you and not those on your screen.
