Going Light - Kicking Your Phone Addiction w/ the Founders of Light Phone uncomplication
-
- Society & Culture
The average U.S. citizen spends 5.4 hours on their mobile phones daily. That's over ONE THIRD of a person's waking hours staring down at a screen. Meanwhile, tech companies are funneling BILLIONS of R&D and investment dollars into the "problem" of making phones and apps STICKER... they want more time spent on devices to drive ad and data harvesting revenue... so where does that lead? In the face of this "crisis of humanity" the founders of Light Phone have taken a completely different approach: They are flexing their design process to bring about phones that are intended to be used LESS... so you can get your time back, and actually live it.
I'm not affiliated with nor paid to endorse their project... I reached out to them after a friend showed me this very interesting device and the conversation it sparked was something I wanted to share.
Sit back, relax... and consider that your smartphone may not be the friend you thought it was, but a global addiction hiding in plain sight.
Enjoy!
