  • On 7th January 2019 I appeared on Ireland AM with my husband to talk about why we gave up our smartphones. Check out my website for lots more information on why we decided to switch to dumb phones and all the benefits of doing so!

    I use a dumb flip phone now after years of using the smart phone...nice to just use the phone for what it was originally intended for, Talking :-)

      I agree! I grew up in the late '90's early 2000's, and my first cellphone was a Nokia. I had a smartphone at one point, and I felt like I wasted a lot of hours of my teen years. Now, in my early 20's, I feel so much better after buying a Nokia 3310! It's worth it, trust me. :)

    Hi Lisa, Thanks for putting up this video and talking about the improvements you gained from going to a dumb phone. I am considering the switch to a dumb phone as a daily phone, I'll still keep my smart phone for photos and video recording but now I'm thinking Ill swap to an mp3 player for music and get a real camera down the track.

    Brad, same choice! Thought I'd use smart phone net connection for cycling sfx streamed from the net but I understood, MP3 player is much more trustworthy, easier to use, no lags and disruptions, less costs : ) I don't recommend for video a smart phone, the modern specific video equipment such as DJI Pocket have much better optics than a smart phone's small lens. Good people realise the negative impacts and the imprisonment the big tech companies try to inflict upon us. I have a Samsung XCover1 and keep it home only, just like the superior land line phones that are sadly only a memory left. They had only benefits: no cancer risk radiation, clean sound, trustworthy, no lags, interruptions, disgusting system or failure sounds, stable connection...
