Retreat | Life With A Dumb Phone (Light Phone Review) @retreatliving | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Today I want to share with you my experiments with a dumb phone. When I decided to get rid of my smart phone for a season, I somehow came across a product called the light phone. The Light Phone is a premium, minimal phone. It will never have social media, clickbait news, email, an internet browser, or any other anxiety-inducing infinite feed. It's an experience the company calls “going light.”
Deleting social media was what first lead me down the path of rethinking many of the ways I live in the social and digital age. It was my social media and porn addictions that lead me to truly get rid of my smart phone for a season.
I am not today, nor will I ever be the person who hates smart phones and social media. They are incredible tools that help us engage with the world, grow a business or spread an important message. With that being said, I may spend the rest of my life pausing and presenting the realities of what this new world can mean for each of us.
Cal Newport mentions this concept as well. “Digital minimalism definitively does not reject the innovations of the internet age, but instead rejects the way so many people currently engage with these tools.”
Getting rid of your smartphone quickly forces you to change the way you interact with those tools. Whether you’re close to the place of getting rid of your smart phone, or are considering getting a second phone, the light phone may be a good option for you.
