It`s a FANTASTIC feeling having my mp3 collection (which is still evergrowing) transported to my sd card and having it available at all times no internet needed.
the new barbie flip has google maps! texting does suck, but that is why i have my phone for certain situations and times during the day. it does not have many apps, and i use it to text and call when i cant on my flip but i try to use my flip more than anything.
I recently got mine and plan to use it as my primary phone too! I'm thinking about using my current iPhone for maps and music only when I'm in the car. I think google maps will be easier to navigate on the iPhone. But I can't wait to use my barbie phone! It's so cute!
this was such an interesting video to watch! and so nice that you decided to share after so much time! i found it quite inspiring and interesting that even after so long the habits you picked up at that time stayed!
The following is something I've noticed with individuals your age and younger (like my teenage niece): The more we travel forward through time, the more powerful technology gets, which in turn means that newer and newer generations will inevitably use newer technology - which includes the advent of numerous social media platforms. This has created an artificial bubble where social behaviours and emotional maturity are not what they should be. As for me, I literally only use facebook when it comes to social media. To be fair, this is typical behaviour for someone with autism like myself. I've noticed autistic behaviours in younger individuals because of the aforementioned artificial bubble created by the newer use of technology. Both the inability to socialize and the lack of social skills is very apparent. This disability is something extremely normal for someone like myself, but it should NOT be "normal" for someone your age (or younger) who is neurotypical. For example, I prefer texting over calling. But in general, that's because this is a typically normal behaviour for someone on the spectrum. But when I was younger, I can tell you... Neurotypical teenagers LOVED talking on the phone with their friends. It was the next best thing to seeing them in person. When it comes to the lack of technology vs the emergence of post-modern technology, the latter has had a massively negative impact on a social scale. Younger generations are drowning right now, and I don't see it getting any better, sadly.
Best solution is an old iPhone... u can still text an take pics and stuff. I have a newer iPhone I use at home for social media and stuff, but my main phone is an old iPhone SE that's only texting, calling and pics and music. Tbh I think I found the perfect baance
Not for me. My whole life is in my notes app. I tried replacing it with physical notebooks. But I realized Ill quickly ran out of storage and space in my home for all the notebooks. I write a lottttt. Plus, it's so much wasted paper.. 😅
99% of people: Likes flip phones because they get rid of addiction. 1% of people (me): Likes flip phones because theyre more addicting than regular phones.
For the texting issue in particular, I know that there were specific types of phones with a full (albeit small) slide-out keyboard back in the day right before smartphones started getting popular! Pressing the buttons from my experience took some force, but you get used to it after tinkering with it for a little bit. All the other issues though, I completely understand :P There are quite a few things required to live in the modern era that can't exactly be thrown away, like Email for example. Most jobs encourage digital application nowadays. Kinda wild.
You can check these models, they come unclocked 1. Nokia has a decent flip mobile. 2. Sunbeam phone has impressed me which I used while I was spending my time at USA and it was amazing product which is high quality and also because it is tuned to Verizon it was smooth at Boston !
my grandparents had flip phones ALWAYS. at&t at one point got rid of every phone except ONE and literally forced them to get it. and it’s way more flashy and colorful and SCREENS!!! it was so so errie
5:59 I heard tons of people complaining about this. I quite like it! I can still send long texts (and I still do) and the only issue is having to switch keyboards when I want capital letters in the middle of my sentence or when I want the number 1 as I have to cycle through all of the symbols. I decided though a cheap flip phone wouldn't cut it as they either were too smart or had tons of irremovable bloatware. So I spent €108 on the AGM M8. Great phone.
You don't need to switch keyboards, when you reach the letter you want all you do is keep it held for an extra second or two and it changes to a capital. Been that way since the 90's.
What did you use to decorate the flip phone? I use a flip phone and want to do this... would gel polish and a uv lamp work with a no wipe top coat?? I have lots of pretty gel polish paints. Let me know, please & thank you
An interesting video topic that kept me interested thoughout. I felt I was watching The Wall Street Journal with Joanna Stern. Well done, good content.
Awesome video!! I found myself at this point About a month ago. I deleted all of my social media apps and try to spend more time doing that don't include my phone. It's going really well and I have more time to get things done instead of wasting time scrolling and watching reels, videos, and posts. Thank you for this video. It's confirmation I'm headed in the right direction.
I totally agreed with you, I too unplugged myself out of my rut that I have been struggling for years, but not just any dumb phone, but even dumber than ever. I was the only kid who master this technique that nobody in my age had success with, the one and only, the rotary phone. I've used it for six months and it changed my life like a flip phone. It was the best decision because I too been addicted to my smartphone for 7 years until I had enough. Dumber and dumb phone for the W.
I wish I could go back to just make calls when I had my flip phone and just listening to music. I used to flip my skinny Motorola phone like a butterfly knife thinking I was sick 🤘🏼. But I’m too addicted to TH-cam and my emulators on my Android and iPhone
love this idea but for those who want to try it themselves without a flip phone maybe deleting apps or using parental controls to limit their screen time could definitely help.
Good video, i do the same, w the tcl phone. One good thing is it does data sharing as a hotspot. So going back to the old days keep your phone without a sim card w maps, youtube n note taking and a calculator. Use the smart phone sparingly. Tmobile allows you to use digits the voip app / text on your number. So if you do need to send a text you can do that too from your smartphone via the digits app. Cheers
5:50 lady, back in the early 00's tapping the buttons multiple times to send a text was the only way to send messages and we could all do it extremely fast and we wouldn't even need to look at the keypad cos we had the letter location memorised. Also we would be texting eachother all the time having extensive conversations. We never found it an annoyance and never found it irritating, it was super easy. I am gobsmacked at how easy young people today are irritated and brought to annoyance.
You have to remember that people who were children in the early 2000s or even the 2010s had no experience using those style of cellphones firsthand because children back then didnt have their own phones. It was their parents or older siblings using those. I was born in 2000 and my first phone was a smartphone in 2016. It makes sense why zoomers would be annoyed or frustrated by the change from a smartphone to a feature phone. The technology is incredibly different. Of course feature phones are much better. Smartphones have been a disaster for society as a whole.
Maybe think about it if it were the other way around: going to a smartphone from a dumb one, and someone made a video about the pros and cons of it. Eg “I loved that I could navigate to places easily, but I became a lot more anxious in front of people and found my mind would never switch off” etc. If that were me, I’d be like “why the hell would I want to switch to an iPhone then?”
My parents said no to the idea of a non mobile phone, and the easiest thing for me to do was just make all my addictive apps (except TH-cam) a web browser instead. The inconvenience of having to manually log in to check on it made me spend less time on it. But another problem I had was the fact that high key, I do not go out nor are my friends and I really allowed to go out that often, unless we randomly went after school, so that we did and I hardly went on my media. Then I changed to a school that was nearly unwalkable and then began getting them as apps. High key it feels like the real solution is to actually be allowed to go outside and do stuff

You would NEVER SURVIVE the 1980s and 1990s! 🤣

Based honestly, the price of freedom is steep
Do you still browse on your laptop?

Loved the video, as I always wanted to go back to dumb phones.
Just one small correction it's called SIM card not SD card haha
@@AkramSays LOL thank you!!!

How did you manage to get use to a small screen? I am thinking of this as well. I have a IPhone 13 PM and still I don’t have courage to do this!😂
An interesting video topic that kept me interested thoughout. I felt I was watching The Wall Street Journal with Joanna Stern. Well done, good content.
@@micleeso thank you!! I’m so glad 🥹😭
Great video!! I loved the thorough breakdown of your experience using a flip phone, I'm considering using one myself. Many thanks ❤
Oh yes! I like your start video! I am thinking on doing this as well! Flip phone yeah
11:32 Huh? Iphones don't have expandable storage. How did you insert your SD card?
iPhones dont have SD Cards. Apple expects you to use cloud services

Oh, Caravaggio. My favorite Baroque painter.
What phone did you used?
I just take breaks from my iPhone.! I get much more stuff done this way.! And feel much more energized and more clear in my mind.!!!
Great video, thanks for sharing!

if you save the contacts into the sim card you will have your contacts in the flip phone when you move the sim card.
we had cell phones in the '90s they just wasn't computers
Im going to give my bar exams next month. Is it okay if i use flip phone all my life as a lawyer ? Are you a lawyer now too ?

I hope i never go back to a smart phone.
That’s true❤
Can you make more such videos ?
try again, but add an Ipod and a digital camera, this will be a lot more fun!
I have the kyocera flip phone
Wow 😮
Dam girl, you a poet
Its you !
❤❤❤
You are not addicted to your phone. You are addicted to social media. I personally was never into it to begin with so I never felt addicted.
What’s interesting is that I’ve thought about doing this but your cons is what makes me hesitate.
Maybe think about it if it were the other way around: going to a smartphone from a dumb one, and someone made a video about the pros and cons of it. Eg “I loved that I could navigate to places easily, but I became a lot more anxious in front of people and found my mind would never switch off” etc.
If that were me, I’d be like “why the hell would I want to switch to an iPhone then?”
lindos ojos 😍
she is lying
Why not just remove all the apps on a regular smart phone?
Can easily redownload
My parents said no to the idea of a non mobile phone, and the easiest thing for me to do was just make all my addictive apps (except TH-cam) a web browser instead. The inconvenience of having to manually log in to check on it made me spend less time on it. But another problem I had was the fact that high key, I do not go out nor are my friends and I really allowed to go out that often, unless we randomly went after school, so that we did and I hardly went on my media. Then I changed to a school that was nearly unwalkable and then began getting them as apps. High key it feels like the real solution is to actually be allowed to go outside and do stuff
ur so good at story telling 🤍

iphones don't have SD cards...
