Sure, they read the newspaper instead of talking to strangers on the train/bus.
But they didn't get the newspaper out when having dinner with friends or family, usually.

We always had that as family time. Dinner on the table at 5... don't be late because as soon as dinner is done everything is put away and dishes done. Also, while I'm ranting, we ate what was in front of us. We didn't get a different meal because we didn't like what Ma made. |

BTW, sorry for your loss man. My parents use to stay in Florida during the winter. Ma got sick when she was down there and died the next day. Didn't get to say goodbye. It was horrible |

Teach them to help themselves. Calling for help doesn't mean someone will help you.

There are online communities that cover this topic as well as manufacturers. Most people settle in the middle where they want important features and communications without all the distractions. Google or search reddit for "dumb phones" or "light phones".
A lot of people already have an android, you can install a skin called Android Dumb Phone which allows you to remove features like browsers or app stores, but will allow you to back when life requires like a vacation or emergency situation. Or try a dumb phone manufacturer like Sunbeam. There is no reason to throw out all the handy features just because of a few time consuming apps that you can get around.

If it were me I'd go for the hooker every other month. Upgrade. Quality over quantity.

A didn't read this complete thread. After being available 24/7 with my work phone I now have a 50' rule after retirement. Check periodically as needed and don't carry. Life is beyond this devil electronic device. Smile, I see life differently now. Good luck trying to be sensile otherwise.

And just to clarify.... I'm not moving to under a rock....I still have ways to communicate if needed. I know some people need/want their phone...I just don't fit the need part anymore. |
