Yeah, sadly dumb phones aren't the solution either. With call spamming smart phones could potentially be more useful, dumb phones have no screening call capability for spam and becomes a hassle to use them. I feel for old people with dumb phones receiving dozens of unsolicited calls. The best solution is self restraint from distractions.
- nerdjon 4y agoVery true, a dumb phone seems to be the wrong answer to the problem. I mean if you really don't get any value ever from the smart phone go for it, but it is a weird solution when you can just make your relationship with the phone healthy yourself. I mean a fresh iOS install doesn't give you a ton of alerts on its own. But also, smart phones do have their value. There have been a couple of jobs I have gotten interviews for because I was hanging out with someone and someone mentioned looking to fill a position so I sent them my resume right there. Or navigation (walking or car). Not getting lost (heavily related to navigation but still). Needing to look up something on the internet. Sure today a lot of smart phone use is for... I am going to say meaningless tasks. They are "fun" but you would be fine without them. But there are a lot of valid uses that smart phones provide. The issue is everything else.
