Are your kids buying "dumb" phones and/or ditching social media? How about you?

My son ditched his iPhone in Jan 2025 and got a flip phone. He wanted peace and quiet and realized he was spending more time on it than he preferred.

However, when he had an impromptu trip to NYC he realized that not having maps etc is a problem, etc.

So…he now alternates between a new iPhone and his flip phone. The latter for day to day use, and the iPhone when traveling.

(He also prefers vinyl records, uses a Freewrite for papers, and is a thrift store customer. He has a Mac, and AirPods, etc, but he really prefers old school items. And much prefers old used books versus his kindle.)
