- After deleting social media for 2 years, I decided it was time to get rid of my smartphone. 📲 I was burnt out, lazy and comparing myself with everyone online. I realized we'd rather believe that life is out of control than to actually have to take control and do something about it.
I spent the past 3 months living life without my smartphone. I've learned so many things through this experience that i'm going to share on this video. My focus and memory improved immediately after I started spending less time on my phone. The less time I spent on technology, the more I started to read and embrace alone time.
Although technology benefits the world, it often takes so much from us. It steals our peace, happiness and contentment that we so deeply need. It's not about getting rid of your smartphone forever, but learning to spend less time on it. Take steps away and begin to experience the real world again. Lay down what is promising you happiness and pickup the things that actually give it to you.

HEY friends ✨ feel free to leave any comments or questions below and I will reply to each one! ❤️Also, share this video with a friend who might need some motivation! Thanks for watching 😊
Sir, Namaste 🙏 I am from India. Your videos are very helpful.
😊
You can still have a smart phone just take a break every now and then and breathe.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and we couldn’t wait for all this technology that we were promised…Now I wish we could go back to how it was before the internet was available everywhere you go
I'd rather kill myself then being without phone all the time.
💯
I was born in 94 and a watch having a tv screen seemed like science fiction or too good to be true, even in the mid 00s but it’s here now. It’s weird that smart tech isn’t a good experience as it seems.
So true
I agree that's right.
By the way, in response to something you said. It actually is NOT a pain to get rid of a smart phone. You just have to re-train your brain to remember what it's like to not have the internet at your fingertips 24/7. It is absolutely possible and quite frankly, better for life.
It sounds terrifying, but doable I suppose
It's much better to not be a smartphone zombie.
How so? How do you deal with navigating places especially if you're on a whim and haven't looked up directions beforehand, or pay for things when you are out of cash?
@@Creationinpiration bro i use digital payment
im gen z so there's no retraining for me lol
I’ve come to realize that due to so much phone usage, my memory isn’t anywhere near what it used to be and I have almost no attention span. I’m trying to train myself to put the phone down and just be bored with myself or read a book.
I went through the same thing! Be patient with yourself and take small steps 😊
@@retreatliving "the less time you spent on social media, the less time you spend on your phone"
Sincerely dude, smartphones are on the market more than a decade and you just figured this out in 2021??? Man, as a long time Android user since the Galaxy S2 came out, I didn't install any of that social craps on all my devices that I have used through the years, now that I have smartphones running Android 11 and I still use my smartphones the same way I did 10 years ago and smartphones don't consume my time at all.
Don't get me wrong, smartphones are amazing gadgets but sometimes it ends up in the hands of people who can't control their addiction for the likes of social media.
I won't hide that I'm a heavy user when I'm home but outside, I just use my smartwatch as a remote controller for my earbuds , so my phone won't be seen as a distraction and can stay in my pocket, I don't like being distracted when I'm outside.
Smartphones in question don't come preloaded with social media and pubg Mobile, so why not use it's basic functionality like we used to do back in the days of the Motorola razr v3x when a MP3 player and making phone calls were more than sufficient to many mobile phone users.
I am right in that situation as well. I had a great memory, now I need my alarms to remember everything. I really hate the smartphone to the point of just throwing it in a recycle bin. I have it on me all the time. I get panicked if I leave it at home. I was on a 2 hr train journey last Yr and everyone had their phones out. I did start to look at mine but I switched it off and just looked out the window.
I realize this to. But I store so much external information for myself in my phone. Notes, dates, etc.
Same!
I wish millions of people would see this. I ordered an almost 20 year old Nokia phone and can't wait for it to arrive. I'm just done with wasting hours upon hours and days and years of my life for literally nothing. I'm ready to change everything. Thank you so much for this video, it just hyped me up even more
I literally just ordered a 20 year old Nokia and then read your comment lol can't wait either
@@calle3641 There are new Nokia phones based on the old models. I combine my Nokia with a online only Samsung Tablet/ No TV.
@zoe_lady I haven't got a TV!
@@davidhookway514 The old ones are better though. Only thing is that 2G and 3G networks are either already shut down or will be in a few years (depending on which country you live in).
@@folksurvival Same here, if it wasn't for the 2G shutdown I'd keep my old Nokia and get rid of my smartphone... I don't have a TV either!
90's was the best decade. No smartphones, no cellphones, no internet.
@@kingoftheedamnedthis was called 1g because it was the first generation of internet
Actraully that is not true. The first smart phone was introduced in the 1990’s. It was the Siamon communicator by I.B.M. So it did come out in the 1990’s. Actually siamon was introduced in early 1990. People think that the smart phone which we know of today came out in 2007. That is also incorrect. Yes. The first iPhone came out in 2007. The iPhone 2g but the first smart phone came out in 1994. The first smart phone was not the iPhone it was the Siamon communicator. People believe that the first iPhone was iPhone 1 that is not true. It was the 2g. Or better know as iPhone with IPhone O.S. Now it is I.O.S. The iPhone 2g was the original iPhone and it ran off of 2g cellar network. But the first smartphone was the Siamon communicator. And that was dissscontinued a year later due to lack of purchasing. Apple revolunizied the smart phone and took all the buttons that previous smart phones had and made everything touch screen. Many people think the iPhone was the first smart phone but that is wrong. I am an apple fan boy actually a true iPhone user. But you have to look back in history about the smart phone. It all started with visions back in the early 1990’s and then come 1994, Siamon was released.
@@kingoftheedamned I mean true but the only places with internet were upper middle class houses, schools, and library's.
@@manciv510 It's where it should have stayed. Now it is expected everywhere, so it's near impossible to switch off even when you want to. It should be in so many places, but the old analogue services it augments must also be as easily accessible. They often aren't anymore.
There was a calling and texting on a phone in the 90s but not internet
Smartphones are a very new thing. Most of my life there were no smart phones, they have existed for not even 15 years. Of course life is possible without them, just like 15 years ago. What concerns me the most is all of those children that have a smartphone because their irresponsible parents gave them one. Children should never have a smart phone, it changes their brains for the worse. Much worse.
Thanks for sharing 😊
I was born in 2001 and I never lived the modern smartphones life in my childhood,
I saw the last bits of my young friends playing in the neighbourhood.
and After 2013 everything changed completely no more children riding bikes and playing football in the neighbourhood, and I never saw them again doing anything every afternoon,
like there is something kept them in.
nowadays
everyone in the house playing with their parents phone at very young age, and they start to have depressed and angry at very young age.
*Even when people say I came in the smartphone generation, there was a lot of the normal life back in 2009 and 2008 but after 2012 everything changed.
@@normanyoung8464 unplugging is basically separating from society, but I think it might be worth it.
Your channel is so underrated! This is such a great reminder to live more mindfully and reclaim power over our life 🙏
I think you can live just fine without a smartphone. It was done in the seventies eighties and nineties and people live just fine. Get a landline phone so that you can receive calls at home. And then get a cheap flip phone to keep in your car in case you have to call somebody or they have to call you but then you just give them your home phone number. For GPS you can buy a GPS unit that is just as accurate as someone on your phone without the service and go anywhere you want or learn to read actual Maps
The thing is though so much such as uber, tickets are done through the smartphone
I agree. You don’t NEED the apps, we are just trained now to think that we need them. We can choose to not live with a smartphone.
that's not even necessary, a land-line is totally pointless
With this day in age those things are never coming back. You can’t live without a smart phone these days. Many places require you to have a phone to get things done. Yes. That old tech worked back then but now we are living totally different times. Many places you go don’t even use paper menus anymore in restaurants. You have to look on a smart phone. The smart phone is required these days to get work done and other things. Hell people don’t even use a computer that much anymore. They just the phone they use the phone cause the smart phone actually is just as fast as a modern computer and you can do so much with it. The iPhone is like a mini Mac. You don’t need a P.C. Or desk top anymore. Even many people have indicated they don’t even check the computer when they get home cause your phone can do all of that. Back in the day with early smart phones, they required a computer to depend on you could do very little with a early smartphone cause it had to do with companionship of the computer. Now days, you don’t relie on a computer. Everything is done via smart phone. Even to make your smart phone a computer just get a Bluetooth keyboard and printer. You really don’t need even your phone to connect to iTunes via computer cause it is already done. On the new modern iPhone you can even delete your ringtones. You don’t have to no longer sink with iTunes to do that. Everything is done on the phone. So you can’t go back in time and relive it those days are gone and the days of push buttons phones are no longer. Maybe some companies are trying to remake them but they are not like what they use to bee. Al phones these days really have moved to touch screen based operation. You see so many more touch screen phones today than push button. The push button phone is pretty much obsolete. Back then you could live in society without a cell phone cause everyone did it and times were way different. Now days, we can not live without a smart phone. The modern day society is way to fast pace, and requires many operations to bee done on a smart phone. Whether you face that or not. Everything requires a smart phone these days from banks, to restaurants to bus and air Tranzit. The only thing old school I do is still walk into the bank and talk with the teller to deposit my checks even then you can do that on line but it is better to go in that is good cause you are facing the teller to do that. But as far as checking on line how much i have that is done with my iPhone. I don’t even call the bank up to check status. That is through the banking app. So everything today in this fast pace life we are living is not going to bee like what it was back in the 190’s. Yes. The songs back then we’re great. Nothing like the 1980’s and 190[s.but as far as tech you have to face that we are living in smart phone territory. Just because you could get by without a smart phone in yesteryears doesn’t mean that that same rule applies today. Today is a totally different time. Back when i was a kid we had rotary phones i get it and life was different. But we have moved on. Now with my work, I don’t have to ask someone when I have another gig. I am a pianist. Reading my emails and checking my calendar daily that is all done with my phone. I don’t have to ask. “When is my next gig.” Everything is sent via email through the automatic calendar back then you couldn’t do that and you had to search but now days things are so much more accessible. So to say you can live without a smart phone these days is not possible. Everything requires a smart phone whether you have android or apple. It’s not like back then and I am afraid to say some people are stuck back in the past. Yes. Those days were different and simple but now days it is just to complex with fast work pace and work flow. You need a devise that is going to help you in your daily tasks and that is where a smart phone comes in. Why have all these things when your smart phone has even a better camera than some digital cameras. With your phone you have accurate g.P.S. To get you home. Maps and cameras and banking is all in one device. Why are you going to fill your life with so many things when a smart phone has everything in one package. Life is suppose to bee easier on you with fast pace work life not harder. And this is not my opinion it is todays society that we are living in. If you don’t have a smart phone or cell phone you are shit out of luck. Even the modern iPhone sounds like a mini theater. The sound is so good.
@@benjaminbrown5245 because of what you said I'm now going to give up my smart phone and return to yesteryear in everything. Thankfully where I live we have real menus. I'm going to live without electricity and enjoy kerosene lamps and woodstove again. Thanks for giving me a push back to real living. I still get paper bank statements.
I've gone years without having a smartphone, or even a dumbphone. I had one in the 2000s but found that having one made me 'always available' my time and personal space felt disrespected and getting rid of a mobile device for anything beyond emergencies has been absolutely liberating. It blows peoples minds when they find out that all I have or will give out for a phone number is a landline number.
Cannot agree with you more. I got rid of my smartphone in favor of a landline and e-mail 6 years ago. Probably the best life choice I've made in my adult life, and until you do it, you don't realize how stressful and burdensome it actually is that people expect you to be accessible 100% of the time through that horrible device. Getting rid of that ball and chain is one of the biggest kindnesses you can grant to yourself.
How you comment
@@rahulbairagi4438 Just because I don't use a smart phone, doesn't mean I don't have a PC.
@@ZukiraPhaera Haha, rahulbaiiragi's comment made me laugh. It makes me wonder if they are too young to remember what life was like before we had smartphones, but we still hung out on the web chatting. I really really admire that you only have a landline. I would completely rid of my phone in a heartbeat if I didn't travel for a living.
@@vansan3211He probably doesn’t know what it was like without a computer. Smiles! Most people are addicted to the internet now and many people don’t even realize it.
I want to delete all my social media and live a simple life. But, the fear in my mind about FOMO is still strong. I really don't know why either. Most people I follow on social media, I will never meet. I don't know why I'm so invested in their lives when I should be using that time to invest in my life and make it better for myself and only for myself.
Thank you so much for sharing! You got it! 😊
It's simple man, just delete them. I managed to use smartphones without social media for 12 years and I don't think social media is missing me in any way
@@danteerskine7678 What did you delete and what did you keep?
No fomo from social media. Your fomo should be about missing out on life. I believe there will be many that are going to one day look back on their life and be filled with regret at how long they stared at their phone doing nothing

This is what I need now . Most tragedy is that we miss our life , looking another's stories or photos.
You’re right! We learn one step at a time 😊
"The things you own end up owning you."
I like social media to connect with friends, and inspiration for my script writing and etc. I rather have myself using my technology for my benefit rather than getting addict to a product that is hard to sober from in this day and age. Loved your video. Amazing work.
I heard that quote from fight club 🎉
After I watched this video, I took a deep breath and I said "I have to do this."
Thanks for this, man!
I have not had a cell phone nor a TV of any kind for 14 years and I'm very happy with that. If you want a phone, get a landline with an answering machine. I guarantee that you won't miss any calls. If you are not home when people call you, they can leave a message and you can get back with them. Life is not all about being connected to everyone in the world. They will get over it if you are not at home when they call. And yes, you'll find interests that take up your time and make you happy. I have always been a reader and I have a huge library of nonfiction books and medical texts that I thoroughly enjoy reading. I also enjoy biking and walking through nature preserves. I'm 72 years old and I can still turn cartwheels on the back lawn with my grandchildren or children in the neighborhood. Life is much more than a cell phone screen. And life is full of happiness once you become unplugged from your phone.
What decade are you living. Pham machines and landlines are no longer and you have to understand that. Ummmmm smart phones have been around sense 1994 when the first smart phone came out with Siamon if you didn’t know we are out of the landline deckaid. Nobody uses a home phone anymore. It is all cell phones and smart phones these days cause of the modern day society. Why are you going to have all this crap with you when your smart phone has everything you need. Come on man!!! You know society needs to work fast these days and you can not legislate the action of not having a mini computer these days. Society is not going back just cause you think everyone should have a landline. Landlines are of the past and they are not coming back.
This is exactly the experience I'm embarking on. I'm leaving it all behind. No more apps, no more screen time, or wasting my life on it. I don't need to have anything but myself ❤️
I miss using landlines/telephones and today's "not-so-smart" typing phones 😌 (and I'm gen z)
Right!! 👀
That was like going to church! You have a gift. Love it.
I recently ditched my smartphone, and switched to the Punkt MP02. I can't tell you what a great decision it was. People can't understand why I would do it, but they don't have to understand. Everyone has to make their own decisions on tech, but I do think my friends and family have paused to think about their smartphone because of my switch back to a 'dumb' phone.
Are you still using the Punkt? How has it been? I’m looking to get one myself.
@@T.Q. I loved it..UNTIL Pigeon, their version of Signal encrypted messenger quit working, and their customer support went silent about it. The ability for a basic phone to use Signal was a big deal. Now it's no better than any $30 dumb phone.
This is the year 2022 and I'm getting rid of mine! As long as I can call and txt my buddies and most importantly my wife then life is fine! Headed to go get a GPS from Walmart for travel but other than that here we go!
The less time you use electronic devices in general you realize how peaceful life is and is not all doom and gloom
If there's a real global issue etc you'll know it without the internet
Your content is the best content on TH-cam. No drama at all and absolute truth in each and every line. Please don't stop making videos because of your distance from social media and phone.
Wow, thank you for the kind words! We’ll keep making videos 😊
I also noticed that I had more time to read when I deleted Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook off my phone! It was so breathtaking. I would use Instagram for business-related content (not for personal use anymore) and will definitely share this video with my friends once my business is back up. Super inspiring, Jordan! :)
Im gonna do this, gonna get a old phone and live in a world pre social media and smartphone… cant wait to see what its like! Humanity ❤️
Awesome 😊
Gah so illuminating! Since giving up social media I barely use my phone but I do love the creativity my laptop gives me. But do I really need a mini laptop in my hand? No for sure not. This video has given me a lot of food for thought thank you so much Jordan xoxo
Fantastic video, important message. Loving catching up on your channel!
Hey Dylan, thank you so much for the kind words! Welcome to the channel ☺️
Thank you Jordan!! I miss your videos please keep on creating more contents like this! 🙏❤️
Hey Resa, thank you so much for the kind words! I’m working on more videos as we speak! 😊
I stopped using a smartphone three years ago almost four years by this January. I've got a tablet, laptop, digital camera, mp3 player and a gps I don't need a smartphone.
Man really good to content ! I look forward to your future videos ! God bless !
Thank you for a very thoughtful video! Seriously!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!!! After living a social media free year I share a lot of these importand thoughts with you and the points you make. Keep on, many blessings, Luisa
It sounds like you’re on the right track! Thanks for sharing 😊
This is so necessary and came at the right time ! Thank you 💕
Thank you for sharing 😊
I just love your videos! So inspiring and very helpful/motivating to me! 💛🥰💛
I've been watching a lot of videos about those, like you, who have been ridding of their cellphones. I'm definitely an all or nothing kind of person, though I appreciate your comments regarding how to just minimize your exposure, as well. The only thing I would "miss" is the maps/GPS function, only because I travel for a living and am gone from home for half the month. I see there are many "dumb phones" out there that DO have map and GPS function, so I'll perhaps investigate that further. Thanks for the motivating video. Yours was probably my favorite.
I absolutely needed this💕 Thank You🙏🏻
You are very welcome 😊
Beautiful! Thank you for this lovely reminder. I deleted my apps while I was watching this. Greetings from Germany:)
Wow, this is so encouraging to hear! Thank you! 😊 I hope to visit Germany one day.
You CAN live without a smart phone, just look at the times before 2010 when there were only feature phones
Back in 2010, people couldn't live without their feature phones and I don't think too much has changed except that people don't use feature phones now
@@danteerskine7678 I can’t see how you don’t see it’s gotten way worse since 2010 lol
I wish there were no smartphones or social media in this entire world 😕 period.
I've actually took your steps, in the first month of May, my phone got cracked, of course I was sad, but I got the opportunity to be more open to my real world, even though I might not have real life friends, I'll gladly say that I'm trying to control myself during the course of the month while waiting for my phone to get fixed, I went to the beach and relax while listening to the radio, get a bit more active and be a bit more social though I have a bit of social anxiety, but it's progressing, as of this time, I got this phone that I use right now got fixed last week and even then, I don't use it that much anymore, yes I might've missed a lot of work and schedules, but I think it's good to get off the social media and go through social detoxification, I really appreciate you making this video, I hope this will be shared with millions of people to show how life was before the smartphone, considering r fact that I'm 19 and I don't even have a phone before I was 12 :)
I love you🙏🏽❤️ I’m starting my journey letting everything go and just focus on Jesus Christ. Anything we can’t detach from is a idol/god to us. I became saved last year, and I feel so good I definitely found peace but I need more peace and I can tell God was telling me it’s something in my life that I idolize and Ik it’s my phone, I’m happy for u and praying for u bro. They don’t understand! Even when I got off my phone for a few hours on the greyhound bus or something everyone just on there phones and I had so much time to think about CHANGE that I want. I noticed social media kept me bitter and so much other feelings, people probably think I’m that person in reality but I’m not. I’m really loving.. but the fruits don’t show if we don’t work on ourselves and let God work on ourselves. I hope everyone let go of there phones for good
Me too porn is just taking over my life and I’m done with it just got the light phone and I’m going to smash my smartphone once I get it you should probably look into it but I can’t wait. I’m done with social media because it is bringing me too much anxiety
Splendid video and thought provoking.. there is a reason why these devices are called "cell" phone as we are indeed being "programmed". Thanks for the spreading the word to embrace and reclaim joy and contentment.
Companies like lite phone need to create a phone where you can use utility features but that’s it
This video has been so helpful to me Jordan, thank you so much. I really needed this today 🥰
Wow, this is great to hear! Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience. From now on I'll try to decrease my screen time to the point where I even forget I have a phone.
Amazing insight. Thank you.
Yes!
Preach it brother!
Praise the Jord!
Great video my friend keep going!!
For me, iPhone 5 is the sweet spot. I can use navigation and Notes and listen to music, but not much else.
You are doing great 👍🏻👍🏻 keep going and motivating 😀
Thank you so much 😊
man! so much wisdom in this video ! thanks for sharing !
Thanks for the kind words 😊
As a teen,I would feel going back to outdoors,painting ,go outside,play toys, they're always make me feel happier than choosing to follow human with human,phones, technology,using, they're everywhere
I agree with you!! The only thing is that it IS realistic to live in 2022 without a smartphone. Lots of people are doing it
Great video, and what a peaceful home / set up
Thank you for the kind words! This was actually at an Airbnb while traveling. It was a peaceful setup! 😊
Proud of you dude!!!! I deleted instagram and got an old Nokia lol
In my opinion you are a hero, it takes a strong Will to make this decision that impact your whole life,
My only fear is something bad happene to my family and they cant able to connect me...
Kssp goig man 👍
I'm finding smartphones do more harm than good. Using my German made Fujitsu laptop to watch this.
I really love your videos. Thank you so much you really inspired me ☺️
This is amazing to hear! Thank you for the kind words 😊
5:18 i have never owned a smart phone for this very reason .
In my country, whatsapp is so big. I live abroad, away from my family so whatsapp was not something I could give up. Instead, I bought a senior flip phone with in addition to calling and texting solely had whatsapp. I project it on my computer and it is the best thing I did.
I bought an MP3 Player, bought a TomTom and now... my life is a lot dumber, but I am so much happier.
I would disagree with you Jordan, I think we should dump our smartphones. I have a work tablet I use for some apps we cant go without (like banking and stuff), but its on my desk and not with me.
life with less technology is so much happier man
So true! 😊
Number 1 😊
Trafiłeś z filmem w odpowiedni moment mojego życia. Zgadzam się z opinią, że posiadanie smartfona wiele ułatwia, ale niestety równolegle wiele utrudnia.
Pozbyłem się mediów społecznościowych kilka miesięcy temu. Teraz czas na kolejny krok, wymieniam smartphone na prosty telefon. Dodatkowo zamierzam wyłączać go po pracy.
Jestem przytłoczony i zmęczony uzależnieniem od telefonu.
Dzięki za Twoje podpowiedzi.
The plan I have is to buy a dumb phone and use that as my phone and text messages device but keep my iPhone XR and use it as an iPod; an iPod Touch for music, podcasts and a camera.
Thank You for doing it ❣️
I love your didactic, you r inspiring me ❤
Great advice!!!!
EXACTLY, I never had one, never missed it
Thank you for the inspiration. I want to do this.
Wow...awesome video!! I’ve been considering ditching my iPhone and getting a flip phone for a long time. I love your perspective on this
I will really need to get 6 months without devices smartphones or laptops. I wish I get that opportunity.
You speak the truth. Thank you.
it is definitely possible to live without a smartphone. even in 2022. we did it for decades before/
Very insightful
What u said is verytrue i really agree with you . Thank you for making this world open their eyes even a bit
This is beautiful to the core.
Great bro
Thank you for your message.
Excellent
Amazing!! ✨🌎💚
My problem isn't the phone (alone) it's the Internet general and when do we stop lying to us and consider youtube social media again as well?
I'm 63 and I've been surviving just fine all my life without one of those pieces of shit. I use a basic non touch screen flip phone, that makes and receives phone calls. Works fine for me.
I loveeeeeeeeeee this! I am actually trying the same and is getting easier 💜♥️
You are fabulous!
YOU are fabulous! 😊
I have uninstalled insta, youtube, playstore from my smartphone and dumbed it down, Previously i used to spend 6-7 hours daily on my phone, now i barely spend 1 hour on it. But over abuse of smartphone was shortening my attention span and now i am feeling better.
1000 thumbs up👏👏👏
I feel like I have huge fomo from the idea of giving up the internet especially as it seems society is really dependent on the internet nowadays.
I definitely understand! I think what i've found to be most useful is moderating my use as opposed to rejecting the internet all together. Any bit of time you log off and connect with yourself and others is a win 😊
You make it sound as if it's easy to just put it down. I'm a freaking addict, I can't put it down. It ruined my entire life, yet I can't put it down.
I have never owned a cell phone. I used a borrowed one once to make one call. I am 70 years old.
I don't have a "smartphone" at all, and survive just fine.
Then how did you comment here ?
Desktop computer running Ubuntu -- there's no reason to be crippled with a tiny screen and poor sound quality.
We became conscious of our activities and can feel the life in present. Also these devices are just tools for communication navigation and financial transactions that's it nothing more or nothing less. We can use it as just other device with conscious efforts and without getting trapped in cheap dopamine traps of social media companies who wants to sell products which we don't need most of times. Thanks for these video ❤ keep it up brother
Agreed. The waste of paper does suck...
I have never owned a so-called "smart" phone. Also, I have never dealt with "social media". And, I never will. I seem to live life just fine.
Just received my Nokia 105 4G non- smartphone; it replaced my budget smartphone. I really like it!
I'm not giving up my phone, but I can tell you that I lived without a smartphone until I was 19. Years. Old. And I'm 24 now. That's a long heckin' time to go with an old dumbphone. Helped me keep in touch with reality, if you know what I mean. But I'm OK with having a newer phone now, because it helps me keep up with the times. And I'm able to take the time to put my phone down and stuff. The phone definitely helps me, but I'm able to break away from it from time to time.
I periodically delete social media apps and it feels great. When I go outside without a phone, I feel free. Like connected to the real world. Sounds reasonable cause technecally it's a disconnection from the virtual. It's nice to see that people all over the world like to live without checking and scrolling.
P.S. I came back to your channel and watched this wideo during unsubscribing session. So, I definitely stay with you.
P.P.S. Reading is superb.
This is a good listen! And to answer your thoughts about this device, I guess it depends on the history before and what gets used today! A.I computer counters are an excuse from parts of the past! Needed, not if they still don't respect a persons struggles! Thanks for a more balanced chat! And yes, people can survive without!❤ So why do people pick back up certain device's? Anyway
Thankyou Jordan :)
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you!
You’re welcome! 😊
I agree I lived one week without social media In 2021 that was healthy experience I'm actually planning to leave social media or use it so much more less
5:08 That's kinda the point. It forces you to get creative with how you do things, which is good.
