The Wall Street Journal, and many other media, are reporting on the red-hot trend of younger people buying flip phones in addition to having their smartphones.
The flip phones are being used when they’re out and about, and away from home, to disconnect from the constant lore of looking at smartphones and social media.
The Wall Street Journal article, however, points out this isn’t just a trend among Gen Zers, but older people as well are finding that there is a great benefit to not being addicted to smartphones, and that flip phones are a solution to that.
For myself, I try to limit screen time on the weekends particularly, and although I don’t think I’ll ever go back to this old rotary telephone that I have at home for nostalgic reasons, but you never know.
I have also been thinking about going back to a flip phone!!
Might be a good thing!
