I honestly can't remember if I spent any less time on my flip phone over a decade ago. I sent a lot of texts with it, used computer for social networking sites, email, etc., used iPod for music, used a digital camera for photos. Now you just get all of them in one smartphone. Add them together, it's probably about the same tbh... with less "device transition time" I suppose.
- ethbr1 2y agoThe difference for me (two decades ago) was presence in social moments. Texts, with an ugly interface, are inherently less "sticky" in terms of attention than modern apps/notifications. You still had people texting at parties, but phones generally stayed in pockets more, because they were... boring!
- EvanAnderson 2y agoI would spend less time using a flip phone because I could type much faster. >smile< T9 w/ physical buttons is so much nicer than a touch screen keyboard. I can also type w/o looking at the phone. I sent so many texts one-handed w/ my Nokia 1100 back in the early 2000s.
