Why I Switched to a Flip (Dumb) Phone (For Now)
Posted by rbroberg 7 years, 6 months ago to Technology
Word on the street is flip phones are making a comeback.
I realized I wanted to activate my Samsung Convoy 4 after I realized (1) real time stock prices are best suited to professionals who work in stockbrokerages, (2) 90 percent of the time Twitter and Facebook are battlefields and pissing contests, (3) entertainment updates are not what the bossman wants me to think about in the office, (4) the weather prediction changes and it never really rains in California regardless, and (5) they all say the same shit anyway.
Advantages: Economical texts, more voice calls, fewer distractions
Disadvantages: Listening to people who have smart phones for information about weather, sports, politics.
I want to evaluate whether the following change: relationships, communication, attention span.
This experiment will last two weeks.
