    Why Gen Z is Ditching Smartphones for Dumbphones

    Younger generations are increasingly ditching smartphones in favor of “dumbphones”—simpler devices with fewer apps, fewer distractions, and less tracking. But what happens when you step away from a device that now functions as your wallet, your memory, and your security key? In this episode, Tom and Scott explore the dumbphone movement through a privacy and cybersecurity lens. Drawing from a recent Wired article, the conversation digs into digital burnout, surveillance capitalism, multi-factor authentication dependencies, and whether opting out of smartphones is an act of digital self-defense—or a step toward digital disadvantage. ** Links mentioned on the show ** Dumbphone Owners Have Lost Their Minds https://www.wired.com/story/dumbphone-owners-have-literally-lost-their-minds/ Previous Shared Security episode from 2022 about the rise of dumbphones https://sharedsecurity.net/2022/04/18/dumbphone-sales-are-soaring-john-oliver-blackmails-congress-cicada-chinese-apt-group/ ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to ad-free episodes, bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.
